My Life Simulator

The lights are on at three nights, and it is when the man is reading.

Black hair does not know how to study early, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying late.

Before Jing filed the case, Lu Li waved his cantilever, followed the dragon and snake, and wrote a regular script calmly.

"This poem of persuasion... reminds me of 'Young people don't know what is precious, and old people look at nothing to shed tears'."

Lu Li smiled, opened the scroll, and put down the brush.

During this period of time, in addition to painting for Liu Qin, Lu Li has been studying and living a fulfilling life every day.

Calligraphy is closely related to famous poems. In order to write more and better calligraphy works, Lu Li also took time to read ancient texts such as Tang Poems, Song Poems, Book of Songs, Yuefu, Zhuzi Baijia, Four Books and Five Classics.

Under the condition of "unforgettable", this kind of simple memory brushing will not take Lu Li much time.

Abdominal poetry and gas from China!

As Lu Li has read more and more poems and books, and has written more and more calligraphy and paintings, Lu Li's "literati" temperament has become stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Lu Li has a kind of Yuanding Yuezhi, and his bearing is like the demeanor of a scholar.

After the National Middle School Student Calligraphy and Painting Competition, Lu Li has been honing his skills at home.

It's just...it's not that easy to continue to improve once you reach the proficient level. Even if Lu Li is under the "God rewards diligence", and every practice improves, it will take a longer time to fill the level-up experience bar.

Considering that the future development direction is "plastic art", simple calligraphy and painting cannot meet the requirements of "craft modeling", so Lu Li is ready to learn new content.

On the basis of the original "engraving" skills, Lu Li plans to extend to root carving, stone carving, wood carving, and even jade carving.

Apart from that, sculpture is also very important. Lu Li remembered that the Yucheng Youth Palace also had a project of "Clay Sculpture", and planned to learn "Clay Sculpture".

In the art world, calligraphy, painting, carving, and carving are the four basic skills. All other art categories, in the final analysis, are related to these four basic skills.

Lu Li's calligraphy and painting have reached the proficient level. "Seal engraving" is only proficient in engraving. Sculpture has not been studied at all.

These four basic skills require a lot of energy and time, and long-term practice of excellence.

To become a "master", at least these four basic skills must be practiced to the master level.

The internet is the best way to get just. As long as you look for it, there is no "knowledge" you can't find.

The money earned by "translating", and when he went to the capital to participate in the competition, his father also gave 10,000 yuan, which Lu Li had already used to equip him with a laptop.

Turn on the computer, go to the website, search for "Introduction to Engraving", and countless pieces of relevant information pop up.

Root carving, stone carving, wood carving, jade carving, and even "micro-carving", all kinds of teaching videos are available.

Having watched the videos one by one, and the documents one by one, Lu Li has already understood the basic techniques of "seal carving".

The so-called "technique" is actually the use of various tools. What tools to use, how to do it, and what kind of results can be achieved.

For Lu Li, these basic techniques can be understood at a glance, and they can be remembered after seeing them.

After mastering the basic techniques, the rest is to spend time practicing slowly and gradually upgrading.

Wood carving is a better solution, just cut the piece of wood. Stone carving does not make large objects, but it can be done with improvisation. Jade carving and micro-carving are not easy to practice.

Fortunately, the essence of the skills is the same, only the difference between materials and tools. Once you have practiced woodcarving, everything else can be used by analogy.

In addition to "seal carving", in terms of sculpture, Lu Li is only suitable for practicing "clay sculpture" for the time being.

After the clay sculpture is practiced, other types of metal sculpture, plaster sculpture, resin sculpture, glass sculpture, etc. are essentially the same.

After learning the introductory course of seal carving and sculpture and mastering the basic techniques, Lu Li purchased a complete set of wood carving craft knives, clay sculpture craft knives, and electric stone carving tools online.

After buying the tools, the next step is to prepare the materials.

The wood carving materials are easy to solve. Go to the forest farm to buy a few bamboos, and buy a few crooked hardwoods, which can be used for a long time.

Clay plastic material is more convenient. Go to your hometown in the countryside to dig a few bags of clay, mix it with clear oil, and knead it into a sticky sludge, which can be used to make clay sculptures.

Stone carving materials are also convenient. Pick up some large and small stones by the Qingyi River and go home and play with them!

These materials do not need to be taken home, they can be stacked directly in the carport downstairs. Such junk was thrown on the ground and no one picked it up.

The materials are ready, and the tools for online shopping have also arrived.

Lu Li cut a bamboo tube with a hand saw, took it home, and started to make his first bamboo sculpture.

This bamboo tube, Lu Li was going to make a pen tube.

I picked up the bamboo tube and observed it for a while, first made an overall shape in my mind, then picked up the engraving needle, drew on the bamboo tube, and drew the pattern to be engraved on the pen holder.

Sculpture is related to painting, but there are differences.

To turn a two-dimensional picture drawn on a piece of paper into a three-dimensional relief, this process is a test of carving skills.

Every time the knife is cut, it must be appropriate. If you cut less, you can make up for it. If you cut too much, it will be useless.

The most painful thing about carving this kind of thing is that the whole work is almost completed, but in the last part, it is all crooked...

What kind of bullshit is this?

Especially for precious jade carvings, if you cut it wrongly or crookedly, the loss... will make you feel unbearable.

Therefore, when you are engaged in carving work, you must not shake your hands.

Of course, you can't shake your legs! If your legs are shaking, Liuwei Dihuang Wan can't save you!

Fortunately, Lu Li didn't shake at all.

The skill of "Calm" makes Lu Li calm, unhurried and unhurried. "Ingenuity and dexterity" made Lu Li's hands delicate and dexterous.

In "arts and crafts", these two plug-ins are more useful than any talent.

Pick up the bamboo tube and perform "rough processing" first, making a "rough embryo" by cutting it sharply.

After the embryo is finished, the next step is the fine work.

Comparing with the pattern engraved on the bamboo tube, use a carving knife to carve and cut a little bit.

This fine carving process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and impatient people can't do this kind of work at all.

Since Lu Li was also making bamboo carvings for the first time, his techniques were still a little unfamiliar, so it took more time.

A bamboo-carved pen holder is officially completed from morning to afternoon.

Lu Li's first bamboo carving work was very successful. There was no wrong carving, crooked carving, or broken carving.

If you don't open the plug-in, the average person will definitely have to scrap the first carving, even more than one or two pieces. It takes countless failures to make a finished product.

Even an old master who has been in this industry for many years cannot guarantee that he will not make mistakes and will not scrap a sculpture with a slip of his hand.

Lu Li's first bamboo carving work was successfully completed, which can only be the result of opening it.

This bamboo-carved pen holder is about four inches high, and is almost like a teacup as a whole.

The upper part of the mouth is carved with the bright moon and flowing clouds. The middle part is carved with a landscape, with towering green mountains and surging rivers. The bottom is carved into rocks of various shapes along the riverside.

The whole composition looks like flowing clouds around the green hills and the bright moon shining on the river.

"Not bad!"

Lu Li looked at the bamboo carving craft in front of him, smiled and nodded.

The first bamboo carving craftsmanship, with this level, has been considered a very successful.

Next, Lu Li changed another project, picked up the kneaded clay, and started making clay sculptures.

Kneading mud is easier than carving.

The biggest advantage of clay sculpture is that it can be done all over again!

Isn't it just a piece of mud? If you don't do it well, knead it into a ball and start again!

Clay sculptures are generally made of human figures.

Lu Li first fixed the clay on a wooden base, pinched out a rough shape, and made a rough character shape, and then picked up the clay knife and carved on the clay.

In the sculpture part, the face is the most delicate, and then the movements must be expressive, but other parts are not so delicate.

The first clay sculpture Lu Li made was the shape of his father moving bricks on the construction site.

If Lu Li was asked to draw such a picture, it would be very simple, and he could draw it easily.

However, it is not so simple to turn the painting into a three-dimensional sculpture.

When making sculptures, Lu Li's mathematical skills have made great achievements again. In the process of transforming from a flat pattern to a three-dimensional statue, various scales and various body data were quickly estimated.

According to the data estimated in his mind, Lu Li sculpted on the clay model, first revising the overall movement shape, and then finely sculpting the facial expressions of the characters, correcting and sculpting little by little.

Clay sculpture takes less time than bamboo sculpture. After a few hours, Lu Li's first clay sculpture was officially completed.

"Dad" stood beside a pile of bricks and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his expression was a bit tired, but his eyes were very determined.

This is Lu Li's first clay sculpture!

"good!"

Lu Li nodded with a smile, put the clay statue on the table to dry, got up and walked out of the room, preparing to cook dinner for his parents.

Soon after, Dad Lu and Mom Lu both went home.

Seeing the bamboo shavings that Lu Li swept out, his mother asked with a smile, "Wa'er, these bamboo shavings...Are you really carving?"

Lu Li bought some bamboo and wood, and also picked up some mud stones. Dad Lu and Mom Lu also knew that Lu Li was going to make sculptures.

Now, seeing the bamboo shavings in the garbage basket, my mother is also very curious, "Wa'er, what did you carve? Show us?"

"Two gadgets, the first time to do it, it's not very good."

Lu Li replied with a smile, turned around and walked into the room, and took out the bamboo-carved pen holder and the clay sculpture.

"Wow... This is how your dad moved bricks, right?"

Seeing the clay sculpture, Mother Lu couldn't help exclaiming, "It's exactly the same! It's exactly the same as your dad moving bricks. It's too similar! Isn't this good? It's already good!"

"It's exactly the same as when I moved bricks!"

Dad came up, grabbed the base plate of the clay sculpture, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then nodded with a smile, "It's really similar! My baby is not only good at drawing, but also pinching clay figures... oh, sculpture, sculpture It's also great!"

"Oh! This cup is also very beautiful!"

Mom took the bamboo-carved pen holder from Lu Li's hand, looked at the exquisite patterns on it, and nodded in admiration, "It looks good! It looks good! This cup is very beautiful!"

It's a pen holder... uh, well, if you like it, it's a mug.

Lu Li smiled, "Mom, I'll make a sculpture for you tomorrow. The pen holder... oh, I'll make another cup. You and my dad will have one."

"well!"

Mom was overjoyed.

During dinner in the evening, Lu Li picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. When I saw the chopsticks in my hand, my heart suddenly moved, it seems... chopsticks can also be carved and beautified!

Learning art is to make life better. Therefore, the daily necessities at home can be beautified!

Hang some calligraphy and paintings in the living room and make some ornaments, which is not only to practice skills, but also to make the home full of artistic beauty.

Lu Li made up his mind secretly.

After eating, Lu Li walked around the house, looking at the living room, the kitchen, and the bedroom.

Although he was very familiar with it for a long time, now re-reading it with an artistic eye, Lu Li also had a new idea.

Decoration is also a "plastic art"!

The decoration of the home is many years ago, even if it is not replaced, it can be beautified. In addition, the furniture in the home is also very old, and the transformation that cannot be transformed can also be replaced with new ones.

As a future master of craftsmanship, I will start with the beautification of my home!

Decoration skills still need to be learned, and carpentry skills for furniture also need to be learned. However, this is not difficult for Lu Li!

Studying, is it still a problem for those who are open?

Back in the room, Lu Li turned on the computer, first looked for decoration design materials, then decoration materials and tools, and then looked at the woodworking technical manual and woodworking tools.

Pure manual operation, not many tools are required, and the technology is not esoteric, it is very simple.

After reading these materials, Lu Li began to draw the structure diagram of the room at home, and began to design the decoration style.

Decoration drawing, in fact, is not much different from painting.

Lu Li drew the decoration renderings on the doors, windows and ceilings of each room.

Mathematics brought Lu Li a rigorous way of thinking. After drawing the drawings, Lu Li was calculating the cost of the materials needed.

Abandon your own labor, re-do some decorations on the original decoration, modify and beautify it, and you don't need to spend any money!

What wallpaper? What wall covering? Is it comparable to a painting of mine?

What high-end doors and windows are comparable to my carved and painted doors and windows?

What high-end furniture, like my carved and painted furniture?

Not to brag, even the chopsticks in my family are works of art!

Thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't help laughing.

The pen draws quickly, and various pattern designs and various modeling ornaments appear on the paper one after another.

A better life starts with beautifying your home!
