Chapter 418: Character Carving
Yang Bo stepped forward and found his own place and sat down.
Looking around, Yang Bo saw that most of the people participating in the competition were forty or fifty years old, and the youngest were all in their thirties, and he was the youngest in the field!
When Yang Bo walked to the competition table, many people looked in his direction!
After Yang Bo sat down, this was a little embarrassed on his face, because he felt that he must have been deceived by Liu Yidao, this is definitely not just a competition, according to the age of everyone in the field, there must be a threshold!
Yang Bo's heart was shocked, but he tried to restrain himself as much as possible on his face, not showing too many expressions!
Liu Yidao looked at the situation in the field and laughed.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Yang Bo twice, and saw him sit down, as if she had already known that he would come, but she didn't show too much surprise, she saw everyone sitting down one after another, and this is the opening of her mouth: "This time the Beijing School Sculpture Competition is not only an event, but also a grand event for our Beijing School of Sculpture Exchange!"
"All of you here are the old people of the Beijing school of carving, according to the ability, many people have the title of provincial arts and crafts master, naturally also understand, this time, for the next national arts and crafts master selection is influential, I hope you can play well, good results!"
"Okay, without further ado, now I'm going to announce the exam question this time - character wood carving! Please choose a familiar character to carve, which can be real or fictional mythological characters. ”
With that, the middle-aged woman turned and walked back.
The venue was very quiet, and it didn't seem to be too surprised by this kind of topic.
Soon, Yang Bo saw a tray sent in, containing a piece of wood, he looked closely, but it was ginkgo wood.
Ginkgo wood is hard and has an extremely long growth cycle, because the material is solid and not perishable, which is considered a good material for carving.
Yang Bo took the ginkgo wood and did not immediately start carving, but thought about it carefully.
Character carving is the most popular in this industry, no matter what kind of material, can be carved, even if it is Yang Bo, has also carved a lot of Buddha statues, birthday stars, for character carving, naturally very familiar.
But the more this is the case, the more cautious he needs to be, because he can see that many people around him entered the industry much earlier than him, and their skills are more exquisite than him, and if they are really compared, others must have more advantages than him!
Therefore, in the choice of themes, Yang Bo must be cautious!
Ordinary portraits, naturally, do not need to be considered, in this way, you need to choose real characters!
Yang Bo looked around, and saw that many people had already settled down, and were painting on the drawing paper, if you want to become a qualified carver, you must first learn to paint, and you must have the concept of size in your heart, and then go under the knife, you can naturally be like divine help!
Yang Bo thought in his heart, according to the normal routine, at this time should carve a beautiful woman, preferably with long hair fluttering and long sleeves flying, but in this case, this practice may not be able to add points.
After thinking about it again and again, Yang Bo planned to use his old man as a blueprint for carving!
The old man is eighty years old, his face is clear, but he is in good spirits, and his face is wrinkled, this image is a good appearance as a model!
Thinking of this, Yang Bo drew a few strokes on the paper slightly, had a size ratio in his heart, picked up the carving knife, and carved it carefully.
Knives rise and fall, sawdust flying!
The reason why the beautiful knife technique is formed is the expression of the mastery of the technique. From time to time, when copying a good painting, people feel that the most difficult thing is the brushstroke, because the brushstroke is the product of the artist's mind and skill, and the same is true of the knife technique, which is difficult to reflect in any imitation. Therefore, only by mastering the skills and constantly accumulating experience can you achieve the ideal and truly belong to your own knife technique.
Yang Bo began to carve, and everyone else on the scene soon moved.
Old Man Cui and Gao Yue sat in the audience, looking at the situation in the field, Gao Yue was a little worried, "Originally, I still had a lot of confidence in Xiaobo, but seeing the situation at the scene, I'm afraid it's not so easy, they are really bullying, they are all so old, and they have to compete with Xiaobo on the same stage!"
The old man smiled, "You don't have to worry too much, you also heard it just now, these people are all provincial-level craft masters, what is Xiaobo now?
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, "It's true, he's a stinky boy, his luck is not bad, he worships a good master, and the competition with such a high threshold can also let him get a ticket, if he really gets the ranking today, then won't he become a national master?"
The old man was also stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "If you really become a national master of arts and crafts, then you don't have to say that his carving, you haven't seen it, you really don't have to be picky!"
Gao Yue pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that the old man was very partial to this grandson, and the old man used to especially like her as a little girl, but since Yang Bo came, her status has not been guaranteed, although she knows that this is because of special reasons, she is inevitably a little jealous.
"It's really become a national master of arts and crafts, that Xiaobo is really famous, only a twenty-one-year-old art master, what kind of concept is this!"
The old man was very happy, "It's really ...... It's a little younger. ”
Liu Yidao looked at the situation in the field, and when he saw Yang Bo hastily drawing a few strokes, he couldn't wait to move the knife, and couldn't help but scold: "I really don't know what to do, before I came, I repeatedly told me to think carefully and draw the sketch clearly, but he still didn't care!"
"Senior Brother Liu, aren't all young people like this? you don't have to worry, I have also seen his works, they are indeed extraordinary, better than half of the people here, but after all, he is still young, this event comes once every three years, give him three years to sharpen, and after three years, he will definitely be able to become famous in one fell swoop!"
The judge sitting next to Liu Yidao said that when he saw Yang Bo before, he was also shocked by his youth.
These people have long heard Liu Yidao boast that he has accepted an apprentice, but after all, they haven't seen it yet, some time ago in the preliminary competition, Liu Yidao took a work, and everyone can see that it should be a deep foundation, and they thought that Yang Bo was only twenty years old!
Liu Yidao looked towards the audience, and when he saw Yang Bo looking up and looking around, he immediately said angrily: "If you don't concentrate on doing things, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it well, I really regret letting him come early, even if he can take the first place this trip, with his youth, I'm afraid it is unlikely to pass the evaluation of the national art master!"
