Chapter 27 Keep a low profile(1/2)
Higashino Hirosawa arranged the sketching paper on the easel.
Teacher Omu's paintbrushes are placed in a paintbrush storage box. There are pencils of various hardnesses and blacknesses in the storage box, as well as several erasers of different softness and hardness.
Higashino Hirosawa took out a 2B pencil and sat in front of the easel, wondering what to do.
LV7's painting ability includes sketching knowledge and skills, and the most basic plaster sculpture drawing is naturally not a problem for him.
As long as he starts writing, he will finish it quickly and smoothly.
The problem is that although Higashino Hirosawa has knowledge of painting abilities and techniques because of the wishing machine, it is difficult for him to judge some common sense things because he has not experienced them.
How long does it take for a normal person to complete a plaster sketch?
Higashino Hirosawa has no concept in this regard.
If he was alone, he would do whatever he wanted and get things done quickly.
But there were more than a dozen classmates around, and Teacher Omu was also watching.
Judging from the posture of Mr. Omu, he is preparing to observe how he paints.
It's not a problem if he paints faster, but if he paints so fast that his speed is far inferior to that of famous painters, then there will be a problem.
Those famous painters may have better painting abilities than Higashino Hirosawa, but with the blessing of various abilities, Higashino Hirosawa's painting speed is far beyond what ordinary people can match.
This can be seen from his cartoon drawings.
Sketching a plaster statue is different from drawing comics, but the essence remains the same.
Ohki Yeo indeed has this plan.
He had known Higashino Hirosawa's name for a long time, but after Higashino Hirosawa joined the art club, he only came to the department twice in a month.
Okino didn't come here every day, so the two of them never met in the art department.
Ohkino has never seen with his own eyes how good Higashino Hirosawa is.
However, he is looking forward to Higashino Hirosawa.
He has seen several paintings by Higashino Hirosawa, and the level of those paintings is probably similar to that of Kagaya Hisashi now.
But that was just a painting taken not long after Higashino Hirosawa entered high school.
Later, Higashino Hirosawa and Kanbara Mika dropped out of school and eloped. After the Kanbara Mika incident, Higashino Hirosawa took a year off from school to take care of his children due to the impact of the incident. He only transferred to Sakurajo High School in April this year.
In other words, what Okino saw was a painting by Higashino Hirosawa nearly two years ago.
Another point.
According to the investigation report received by Fujita Takaya, Higashino Hirosawa's parents have long been missing. In order to make a living, he was actually working secretly when he was in junior high school, and he worked a lot of hours every day.
In other words, Higashino Hirosawa had little time to practice painting.
But his painting ability is still very good.
Okino dare not conclude that Higashino Hirosawa is a genius because his performance level has not yet reached an amazing level, but there is no doubt that Higashino Hirosawa has great potential.
If it weren't for Higashino Hirosawa's situation being too complicated and special, Okino would have already pressed Higashino Hirosawa hard and conducted comprehensive training and drills on him.
It was rare for Higashino Hirosawa to come to the art club. Okino wanted to know what his current level was compared to Higashino Hirosawa two years ago.
Affected by a series of events, the level has stagnated or even regressed.
Or can it show greater potential?
…
Higashino Hirosawa decided to keep a low profile.
I don’t know how long it takes for a normal person to sketch a plaster statue.
But that doesn't matter.
Kaguji Hisashi just mentioned that he would grade the sketches and portraits to Mr. Ohki.
Normal after-school club activities usually last two to three hours.
It was almost 3:40 in the afternoon, so it took him an hour and a half to complete it, and it would be done around five o'clock. Five o'clock was the time for kindergarten to leave, and he happened to pick up Xiao Qianhe to go home.
Even if the speed is still much faster than other students, it is not outrageous.
After arranging the time, Higashino Hirosawa felt confident.
The first step in sketching a plaster statue is to observe the plaster statue and pay attention to the three-dimensional spatial structure of the plaster statue and the light and dark distribution of the picture at the observation position.
With super memory ability, Higashino Hirosawa can complete this step with just a few glances.
After observing the details, the next step is to draw a shape on the drawing paper, and slowly sketch out the general outline of the plaster statue from thick to thin.
This step is no different from drawing comics. If Higashino Hirosawa wants to hurry up, he can draw it in one breath.
But Teacher Omu was watching behind him. One and a half hours of painting like this would not be able to be used normally.
The other members of the art department in the department were scribbling and making changes before slowly sketching out the shape of the plaster statue.
Higashino Hirosawa also adopted this painting method, deliberately drawing the lines a little crooked, and then using an eraser to erase and modify them.
It’s so troublesome, I wouldn’t have come to the art department if I had known it!
Higashino Hirosawa complained, but he still drew honestly.
It took more than ten minutes for Higashino Hirosawa to complete the outline configuration of the portrait.
"Is the configuration completed? Senior Higashino is so fast, and the configuration is so complete!"
Next to Higashino Hirosawa, a first-year junior stood up and looked at the plaster statue. When he saw Higashino Hirosawa's drawing paper, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The main stage of drafting and shaping is to draw the main outline of the plaster statue.
The outlines drawn by most people will look rather sloppy, especially if there are a group of high school students in the club. The outlines of the plaster statues may even be drawn crookedly when drafting.
However, the outline composition completed by Higashino Hirosawa is so complete that it can be regarded as a line drawing.
Higashino Hirosawa ignored it. He looked at the plaster statue again and began to use pencils of different blackness to perform shading on the drawing paper.
Shading is the most complex and critical step in plaster sculpture sketching. It requires constant smearing and modification with pencils and erasers of different blackness to create the required light and dark effect.
If the light and shade are handled well, even if the painting is poor in other areas, the final plaster statue will have a good look and feel.
There is plenty of time and Higashino Hirosawa is not in a hurry.
This is the first time he has sketched in his life. Although he knows in his mind how to draw and what effect it can have, whether he has done it himself or not, his perception will be different when he sees the effect.
Since he had time, Higashino Hirosawa decided to slowly try to draw various effects, and finally modified it to the effect he needed.
This can be a good way to pass the time.
As time passed, the room was quiet except for the slight sound of people walking around and observing plaster statues and paintings.
Higashino Hirosawa looked at the sketch of his plaster statue with satisfaction.
Unlike copying comics, Higashino Hirosawa felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment when he saw a pleasing painting being born from his own hands.
I looked at the clock hanging in the department room. The time was 5:09, which was about the same as the time it was expected to take.
Higashino Hirosawa put away various pencils and erasers, took down the drawing paper from the easel, and walked towards Teacher Oki.
Teacher Omu came to his senses, pointed outside the department room, and took the lead out of the art department room.
"Has Higashino-senpai finished painting?"
"Isn't it too fast? I wonder how the painting goes?"
"Ishii, did you see it when you were next to Higashino-senpai? How was the painting?"
When the surrounding members saw this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.
When Mr. Ohki and Higashino Hirosawa left the club room, they couldn't help but start talking in low voices.
Finally, several people looked at a first-year girl next to Dong Ye.
"Genius! Senior Higashino is a genius!"
Ishii said excitedly, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few points.
During this hour and a half, apart from Mr. Ohki, she was the only one who saw Higashino Hirosawa's painting process.
At first she was just surprised, but soon her attention was firmly attracted. Her eyes always looked at Higashino Hirosawa's paintings involuntarily. She even forgot to paint her own paintings. Until now, she just
I drew the outline of a plaster statue.
"Quiet! Don't affect other people's painting!"
He Gujiu Si heard this and couldn't help but shouted irritably.
How could this Dongye draw so fast? He seems to be able to draw very well?
impossible!
Even if the painting is completed in this short amount of time, how good can it be?
Ishii must be ignorant and make such a fuss!
He Gujiuji thought to himself and calmed down.
To be continued...
