Drawing 2017.02.21#
Last week, I suddenly felt that I didn't have any hobbies or interests, and then I read a long passage of inspirational writing. Impulsively, I signed up for a bell drawing training camp...
Before attending the class, I thought it would be easy. Maybe I'm a drawing genius and can easily draw a beautiful woman with just a few strokes when I go out;
After attending the class, I realized that I was thinking too much 😂
I attended the class on Thursday, and over the weekend, I was thinking about whether I should draw or not, or draw, or draw. And then the weekend was gone...
On Monday, I suddenly realized, "What happened to the weekend? It's already Monday, and the homework is due by Wednesday. I need to hurry up and draw." By the way, what did we learn on Thursday? I can't remember. This is how I feel inside:
So I quickly flipped through my notes to review. Yes, this is it. I remember now. I need to start with a color chart. I leaned over the table and labeled the pens with numbers, and then diligently colored the color chart.
Finally finished coloring, I remembered that I also needed to label the colors. Oh well, one by one. What color is this? I don't recognize it, skip! How about this one? I don't recognize it either, next! Another one, yellow, good, write it down. Wait, there's another one that looks more like yellow, and there's another one after that. Which one is it? I'm so confused...
Teacher, actually I'm color blind, [facepalm]
Honestly, having a color chart is very convenient, especially when copying. If I don't know which color the teacher used, I can compare it with the color chart and find the pen with the closest corresponding number, and then color it. It's convenient and fast.
Then I copied a bowl of noodles, drew the outline with a pencil, and didn't know that I needed to outline it, so I just colored it...
Then I copied a big pot of vegetables. After drawing the outline, it looked ugly, so I told myself that it would look better after coloring. But after coloring, it looked even uglier;
You can still tell that it's noodles on top; but this big pot of vegetables looks like [confused], what is this? It definitely wasn't drawn by me, someone as talented as me wouldn't draw such an ugly picture, it must be fake 😂
Then I continued to draw an omelette with okra while lying on the bed. This time I finally remembered to outline it, and I realized that it didn't look the same as the one I copied. It turns out my posture was wrong... After outlining, it looked much better.
After work tonight, I drew a steamed pork dish. I carefully copied it, but after finishing, it still didn't look right. Why does the meat look like it's placed on a wooden stake...
Summary: I feel like the last dish exposed a lot of problems. The lines weren't smooth and round enough when outlining, and I couldn't find a way to fix them when I made mistakes. When coloring, the color handling was off. I feel like I didn't choose the wrong colors compared to the teacher's work, but I couldn't achieve the same effect.
