In Li Yi's surprised eyes, the scholar walked up to him, bowed his hands, and said in a slightly hasty tone: "Brother, I have something urgent at home, can you help me look at this painting booth?" After a while, I will come as soon as possible after I have dealt with the family affairs."
Li Yi could see that this scholar must have really encountered something. Anyway, he is idle now. Liu Ruyi and the big man surnamed Fang don't know when they will come over, and there is nothing to lose by helping the scholar to see the stall. Still can find a place to rest, why not do it
In the expectant eyes of the scholar, Li Yi nodded.
"Thank you, brother!"
Seeing Li Yi agree, the scholar's face showed joy, and after saying thank you, he left in a hurry.
After the scholar left, Li Yi walked to the front of the painting booth, sat on a chair, picked up the book the scholar was reading just now, and read it leisurely.
Within a few minutes, Li Yi shook his head and threw the book aside.
All the biographies recorded in the book are boring and extremely boring. I don't know how the scholar read it with gusto.
Li Yi is just a pseudo-scholar, and it is still difficult for him to sit here and watch this thing without moving.
Turning his gaze to the table, what caught his eye was a completed painting. In the painting was a woman with a face like a lotus, a slim figure, and quite pretty.
Randomly took out a few paper tubes next to it and opened them to have a look. They were also some completed figures and landscape paintings. From a layman's point of view, this scholar's painting skills are not bad, but it's normal to think about it. Scholars in this era , Even if you are not proficient in poetry and painting, you must know a little. Without two brushes, you are ashamed to call yourself a scholar.
Seeing the pens, inks and paints beside him, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
In the past few days, he has also digested a lot of books on painting skills, and he is still thinking that if he can't get along in the future, he will also learn from this scholar, set up such a painting stall on the street, and sell paintings for a living. Will not starve to death.
The rice paper in the stockade is gone, and Li Yi has never found a chance to practice it. He rolled up the picture scroll on the table and put it aside, pulled a blank piece of rice paper, dipped the pen in the ink, and after a little thought, he picked up the pen and put it on the paper. sketched up.
Not long after, the outline of a woman's face appeared on the paper.
Although the facial features have not been drawn yet, it is not difficult to see that the person Li Yi wants to draw is Liu Ruyi just based on the shape of the face.
"It's the first time to draw a three-dimensional figure, let's practice with her first."
Thinking of Liu Ruyi's always cold face, a wicked smile appeared on Li Yi's face, and when he wrote again, he began to describe his facial features and figure.
Three-dimensional painting sounds difficult, and it looks very compelling, but it is nothing more than the treatment of light and shadow, the difference in proportion, and some composition skills. As long as you have a little painting foundation, it is actually not difficult to master.
Although it was the first time to draw a three-dimensional figure, it had actually been practiced in my mind countless times, and there was no pause in writing. After a short time, a woman who looked like Liu Ruyi had already appeared on the rice paper.
It's just different from ordinary paintings. Not only is the woman on the picture lifelike, just like a real person, but she is a little more agile, as if she is about to walk out of the painting in the next moment.
Ordinary three-dimensional paintings are mostly through the control of proportions, the adjustment of light and shadow, and need to be viewed from a special angle to show the three-dimensional effect. Li Yi has made a little weakening in this respect, making the three-dimensional effect not so strong, very The large one retains a good proportion and creates a feeling of being ready to come out.
People who want to come to this era are not so easy to accept those images that are too shocking. Changes have to be made little by little. This is just Li Yi's first small attempt.
After finishing the painting, Li Yi looked at it carefully for a while, and Li Yi nodded, expressing that he was quite satisfied with his work.
When he raised his head, he suddenly faced a strange face, because Li Yi's movements were too abrupt, and the other party didn't seem to react. The distance between the tip of the two people's noses was only a few centimeters. The first kiss is gone.
Especially the other party is a man, although this man is still a little handsome, but if such a thing really happens, I am afraid he will be disgusted for at least ten and a half months.
"Who are you?"
Li Yi took two steps back abruptly, looking at the young man standing on the other side of the table with a look of disgust, who was looking at Liu Ruyi's portrait with astonishing eyes, and blurted out a question.
The luxuriously dressed young man who looked about the same age as Li Yi was still staring at the painting that Li Yi had just finished, and said a few words of admiration, "This painting is so strange, the woman in the painting seems to be walking off the paper Come out like…”
Li Yi curled his lips. Although this guy looks like a man in clothes, he is also a country bumpkin who has never seen anything in the world. It is just a three-dimensional painting, so he was so surprised.
"This painting is strange." The young man murmured, then looked up at Li Yi, and said with interest: "Just use this style to draw a picture for me."
"No painting."
Li Yi didn't look at him at all, said something lightly, and sat back on the chair again. After standing for so long just now, my waist is sore, but I still sit comfortably.
"Why?" The young man was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked.
"Sorry, my principle of painting is to only draw women, not men." Li Yi said lazily.
The young man raised his brows when he heard the words, obviously he didn't expect that the scholar who sells paintings on the street still has such rules, he looked him up and down, and suddenly said: "One tael of silver."
"A tael of silver?" Li Yi's heart moved slightly upon hearing this.
One tael of silver is almost equivalent to a thousand copper coins, and at the current price, it is enough to buy two stones of rice.
A stone of rice weighs about 150 catties, which is enough to feed a family of four for a long time even if they eat rice every day.
Looking at this guy's clothes, he doesn't look like a poor man. The jade pendant hanging around his waist is probably worth a lot of money, so he shouldn't be lying.
But—a man, how can he bend his waist for a mere two stones
Li Yi shook his head: "I don't even draw a tael of silver."
"Five taels."
The young man saw that Li Yi was obviously a little emotional just now, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said again.
"Five taels of silver, ten stones of rice..." Li Yi's face was tangled, and after a long time, he squeezed out a few words from his throat, "I don't draw five taels!"
A man can't bend his waist even ten stone meters!
"Twelve!"
The young man said again calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi stood up abruptly from his chair. This sudden action startled the young man. Seeing this scene, at a corner not far away, several figures squatting there and resting abruptly stood up. Standing up, one hand involuntarily touched his waist.
At this moment, Li Yi patted the young man on the shoulder kindly, and said with a smile: "When I saw Xiongtai for the first time just now, I felt very familiar with it. Looking back at this moment, Xiongtai looks very much like me. An old friend of mine, based on this alone, why not break the rules today?"
Seeing that the scholar on the opposite side suddenly seemed to be a different person, the young man was stunned and couldn't react for a while.
