Line drawing is a form of Chinese painting technique. It is mainly used to draw figures or double-barreled bird paintings. Meticulous painting all starts with line drawing, and this method is actually related to the double hook ring couch of calligraphy. Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty and Li Gongxian in the Song Dynasty developed it into an independent art form. This kind of painting method relies entirely on the virtual, solid, hard and soft, and the thickness of the lines to reflect the different textures and changes of objects. For example, Li Gong'e's "Vimalakirti Enlightenment Picture" of the Song Dynasty and the "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Picture" attributed to Wu Zongyuan. Not only are the beards and beards of the characters fully visible, the costumes are delicate and neat, but the carvings on the couch under Xiang Vimo's body are also detailed and meticulously drawn. As a type of traditional Chinese painting, white painting is also called white painting. Today, when learning figure painting, the foundation should still lie in line drawing. Line drawing can start with copying and cooperate with sketching. Reproductions such as Wu Daoyue's "Moon Sending King Picture Scroll" of the Tang Dynasty, "Yongle Palace Murals" of the Yuan Dynasty, and Wu Zongyuan's "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Picture" of the Song Dynasty can all be used as models for copying. Modern excellent inner-drawing comic books can also be used as a reference for learning line drawing. The lines drawn in white must be rigorous and meticulous, so as to accurately create the shape. It is also free and smooth, with echoes between pens. The thread and the money are connected, the hair is coherent, and the upper and lower are controlled. For example, Li Gongxing's "Five Horses Picture" and Zhang Huai's "Nine Songs Picture" fully utilize the expressive power of line drawing in terms of characters and animals. Line drawing should not only learn from ancient masterpieces. You can also learn from folk painters. They not only impart instructions on drawing lines, but also their painting skills. Whether it is solid lines, horizontal lines, round lines and various patterns, they all have excellent individual collars. They can draw straight lines and circular lines with different curvatures without using draftsmen such as rulers and compasses. The Eighteen Character Descriptions are also known as the "Eighteen Ancient and Modern Description Methods". In the Ming Dynasty Zhou Lvjing's "Yimen Guangshou" and Wang Keyu's "Coral Net" both described the modern "Eighteen Ancient and Modern Description Methods" of the Ming Dynasty Wang Keyu's "Coral Net" "etc.", referred to as "Eighteen Drawings", excerpted as follows: high ancient gossamer drawings: such as Zhou Ju type iron line drawing: such as Zhang Shuhou horse locust tracing: Ma Hezhi Gu Xingyi type name orchid leaf tracing nail head rat tail tracing: Wudong Qing mixed tracing: many Drawing of pouting head: bald brush also depicts Ma Yuan, Xia Gui, Cao Yi: Wei Cao is not happy, folding reeds tracing: such as Liang Kai tip, slender brush strokes, also depicting olives: Jiangxi Yanhui jujube core tracing: pointed large pen tracing of willow leaves: Similar to Wu Bian Guanyin brush Bamboo leaf tracing: fat, short strokes and strokes Water pattern tracing: subtracting brush tracing: Ma Yuan, Liang Kai and other chai brush tracing: rough people subtracting brush earthworm tracing: Wang Keyu's eighteen descriptions, is A summary of ancient and modern stylized painting methods. Although some of the description methods are similar and difficult to distinguish, he has summarized them as ancient and modern description methods. The second largest type of line drawing is orchid leaf drawing. After this type of line drawing was developed, it gained great vitality. Wang Ayu said: "Ma locust is called orchid leaf drawing, or willow leaf is called orchid drawing. I'm afraid they are both wrong." Orchid leaf painting is a painting method that is reflected from the twists and turns of the rich clothing patterns to the back, and has its own independence. The characteristic is that the pressure is uneven, and the strokes are lifted and paused during the stroke, resulting in lines that are sometimes thick and sometimes thin, shaped like orchid leaves. Date core drawings and willow leaf drawings belong to this type. The painter who represents this line method is Wu Daozi. Unfortunately, many of his works have not been handed down. We can only slightly confirm it from the "Picture of the King Sending His Son" and ancient book records. Line drawing turning Teton's amplitude increased, based on the acting director? "Postscript of Guangchuan Paintings" states: The characters in Wu Sheng's paintings are like sculptures. You can understand them by looking around and covering them from all sides. His handwriting is as fine as a copper wire plate. The vermilion powder is thick and thin, and the bones are high and low, and there are depressions in the inside. ", it can be seen that the expressiveness of his lines can achieve a sculpture-like three-dimensional effect. He is also good at orchid leaves, willow leaves, jujube stones, and mixed tracing methods. Many Buddhist murals he painted are comparable to those painted in the Renaissance. Compared with the boldness of Michelangelo who has passed through the Sistine Chapel, he can be called a masterpiece of Chinese line drawing. There are many successors to this painting method, such as Li Tang's "Picture of Wei" in the Song Dynasty. The "Yongle Palace Murals" of the Yuan Dynasty, the figure paintings of Chen Hongshou and Zhang Lu of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhejiang School painters are all good at using the orchid leaf line drawing method.
