Drawing of a manuscript

At this stage I adopt the way of Chinese painting baimiao, this time I choose half ripe "Yun Long Xuan", it is the biggest characteristic is Yun water ability is stronger than the cooked xuan (used for fine carving meticulous painting) and weak Yu Senxuan (for the atmosphere of freehand brushwork paintings), so more able to draw a beautiful line and mechanism. The screen first designed space: A few stars for the future, faucet, Dragon Claw, children for the middle, the underground city and the sky for the vision. This painting is the theme of national wind, do not deliberately highlight the space, the use of the foreground of the stars only slightly larger than the medium, showing the distance can be; The dragon is one of the main body of the picture, but the body scale is full of cloth, the detail is numerous, so chooses ink to depict, make the picture not too stuffy too real. Under the eyes of the dragon, under the nose, under the ink to deepen the edge, this can make the original plane of the head has a trace of three-dimensional, but do not need too strong, because the whole picture or have to have the plane sense of Chinese painting, which is also one of my painting characteristics; the city in the color will become a very heavy part, to hold up the whole picture, But it also needs details to enrich, so first outline the lines of the house rather than the block surface, the distant sky does not need ink, because and the city, the last is a very deep color, but the Chinese painting in the dark or black, not just a separate color, When you look at ancient paintings, you will find that in fact, any color is not a monochrome composition, are rich in hierarchy and mechanism, so here first with the brush Yun dyeing, once again, even monochrome will be rich level.
