Chapter 1227 - Wu Hai’s motivation for teaching

"What I just said is the main style and direction of sketching." Wu Hai said earnestly while looking at Yuan Zhou.

"I roughly understand." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

As a student, Yuan Zhou was very serious and attentive. While Wu Hai was explaining, he even took out his notebook and recorded his own understanding.

"Then think about what you want to learn." Wu Hai said.

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and was about to say his thoughts when he saw Wu Hai take out a recording device.

"Wait," Wu Hai reached out his hand to stop Yuan Zhou and then turned on the recording equipment.

A familiar voice came from inside,""I want to learn how to draw, so I'd like to consult you on some skills in this area."

Wu Hai played the recording three times in a row before he raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhou contentedly,""What did you want to say?"

"It doesn't matter what I was going to say. What are you doing?" Yuan Zhou pointed at the recorder and said.

"It's obviously playing your recording of you asking the greatest painter of Taoxi road for advice." Wu Hai said naturally.

The greatest artist of Taoxi road ... Wu Hai was really polite.

"I know. I'm asking you why you put this here." Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse to beat Wu Hai to death. Then, he asked again.

"I'll listen to you asking me for advice, and then increase my motivation to teach. " Wu Hai said.

"Hehe." Yuan Zhou's left hand grabbed the right hand that was ready to move and then he said,""I need to draw a drawing of cutlery, so I'm going to learn a realistic one."

"Alright, that's easy." Wu Hai snapped his fingers confidently and then began to talk with fervour.

"I'll teach you how to speed it up. " While saying that, Wu Hai directly gave Yuan Zhou a set of sketching tools.

"This is a set of carbon pens, paper, and easels. You can start with simple cylinders." While saying that, Wu Hai took out a white plaster model and then pointed at it,""After all, painting is an art that requires hands-on practice. I'll tell you as you draw."

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou took up the brush and started to draw directly.

"Drawing is actually different from learning how to cook. You can learn to draw as long as you can hold a brush." Wu Hai said while looking at the lines drawn by Yuan Zhou.

"The same goes for cooking, as long as you are serious." Yuan Zhou raised his head and said earnestly.

"First, let's talk about the painting." Wu Hai thought of his mysterious cooking skills and decided to skip this topic.

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou shrugged, indicating that he didn't mind changing the topic.

However, right at that time, Wu Hai took out the tape recorder and played the recording again.

"Didn't you say to draw?" Yuan Zhou gritted his teeth.

"I'm talking about drawing. " Wu Hai put away the tape recorder with a satisfied look and then said.

"You don't have to worry about the layering, fusion, mapping, exaggeration, control of stroke, lighting effects, depth effects, and stroke effects in sketching. Wu Hai said after a series of professional terms.

"Yes." While listening, Yuan Zhou drew on the paper casually.

The carbon pen prepared by Wu Hai was very easy to use. It was soft to the touch and the color of the paper was also very good. Thus, he could draw very smoothly.

Even the paper on the drawing board felt like professional drawing paper, which was even better than the one Yuan Zhou bought himself, or even more professional.

"You only need to learn how to create paintings and stimulate your imagination." Wu Hai waved his hand and gestured to his brain.

"I've already imagined it. I have a draft. " Yuan Zhou said.

"Then just draw. Don't be so rigid with the form." Wu Hai pointed at Yuan Zhou's drawing board and said.

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then continued to write.

"Pay attention to the horizontal line and the intersection point. You have to write more heavily there." Wu Hai stared at Yuan Zhou's hand and then uttered at the critical moment.

However, Yuan Zhou understood it quickly and then changed his writing style.

Having experienced the system's forceful instigations, Yuan Zhou already had his own ideas. Moreover, before he consulted Wu Hai, he had specially read many books about sketching, such as secrets of sketching, introduction to sketching, perfect teaching chip sketching, and so on.

Now, Yuan Zhou only needed the guidance of a master, and Wu Hai was that master.

However, there might be something wrong with this master's head. He turned on the recorder with both eyes again and listened to the words that Yuan Zhou wanted to ask him for advice.

Moreover, Yuan Zhou had checked the time and found that Wu Hai would listen to the tape recorder every 10 minutes. Every time he finished listening to it, he would show a smug look.

Fortunately, the lesson only lasted for an hour. Within that hour, Yuan Zhou's sketching skills had improved rapidly. Now, he could already tell what he was drawing and the shape was already there.

During the one hour, Yuan Zhou was forced to listen to the saying "ask for advice" six times and 18 times. Each time, he played it three times without fail.

"Alright, I have to do something else. Thank you for treating me to dinner next time. See you at dinner." Yuan Zhou put away the drawing board and said quickly.

"You're treating me? Really?" Wu Hai said immediately.

"It's true. " Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"Alright, see you at dinner." Wu Hai went back to his art studio nimbly, but before he left, he didn't forget to say,""You keep the drawing board, it's for you."

"Alright, thank you." Yuan Zhou didn't care about being polite at all and directly accepted it.

It could be said that in order not to hear Wu Hai play that tape recorder again, Yuan Zhou packed his things the most efficiently this time and also treated his guests the most efficiently.

He had no choice. Only by treating him to a meal could he leave as soon as possible.

"Ta ta ta." Yuan Zhou watched Wu Hai's figure disappear into the distance and then let out a sigh of relief.

"This was truly a torturous and impressive lesson. Fortunately, I learned something." Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion.

"I'll be able to draw the design tonight. Then, I'll take it to Carpenter Lian for his guidance." Yuan Zhou looked at the drawing board in his hand and said affirmatively.

He could practice his sketching skills slowly. Now, he only needed to draw the pictures that he wanted and Carpenter Lian could understand. After all, Yuan Zhou was looking forward to the reward of a vegetarian meal.

Especially after being cheated by the two-year anniversary gift package, he was looking forward to this reward even more.

During dinner time, Wu Hai behaved himself very well. Perhaps he had thought of the matter of treating Yuan Zhou to dinner, so he didn't put the tape recorder in the restaurant. This made Yuan Zhou feel relieved.

He wasn't afraid of others knowing that he asked for guidance, but he was afraid that he couldn't help beating Wu Hai to death.

The next day, Yuan Zhou closed the restaurant and set off directly after lunch time with a whole picture book.

When he arrived at Carpenter Lian's place, Yuan Zhou directly handed him the sketchbook.

"Is this what you've been preparing recently?" Carpenter Lian flipped through his sketchbook and asked seriously.

"It's a whole set of cutlery. " Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"The style is not bad and it's new. It's just that you're still not familiar with the skills of the half tenons." Carpenter Lian could tell what skill Yuan Zhou was going to use at a glance.

"Yes, that's why I'm going to ask master to teach me." Yuan Zhou said.

"No problem. Come here for an hour every day. I'll do it, and you can learn." Carpenter Lian closed his sketchbook.

"Alright, shall we start now?" Yuan Zhou said.

"Let's start now. Let's go. I have the wood and the tools." Carpenter Lian did what he said he would do. He directly led Yuan Zhou to the back.
