1, bamboo should be erected first, and the drawing method of bamboo stems can learn from the round brushwork of seal script.
The center is drawn from bottom to top, from coarse to fine, section by section. The bamboo joints are uneven, with short roots, long middle and short top. Draw a good bamboo knot with a bamboo pole, and the pen and ink are heavier when knotting. If you write calligraphy, don't repeat it completely. Bamboo knot has the method of holding the word B on the top and the word 8 on the bottom. Bamboo knot is the key to connecting the preceding with the following, which should not be underestimated.
Draw bamboo poles to avoid being parallel to the paper edge; Draw two bamboo poles to avoid being parallel to each other and the bamboo joints are opposite; When drawing more than three bamboo poles, there should be a relationship between front and back, gathering and scattering, opening and closing, etc. And the ink color (shade, dryness) should change slightly.
2, the stem is the first section, the thick ink should be clear, the back must be round, and the branches are born from the section.
3. The painting of old terrier and young stalks.
When adding branches to the main bamboo pole, don't just add one side to avoid the imbalance of the center of gravity of the picture. Branchlets are shaped like magpie's claws. When painting style and rain bamboo, there will be corresponding changes. Please pay attention.
Drawing bamboo with a pen is like writing calligraphy with a pen. When painting bamboo roots and trunks, it looks like a regular script, which is steady and powerful. When drawing twigs, use cursive brushwork, which is smooth and in one go. Beginners of bamboo painting still ask for pens, not for speed. With a certain foundation, they will pursue higher requirements.
Bamboo stems should be divided into left and right branches, and the ancients drew some concrete metaphors of bamboo branches, such as magpie claw branches, fishbone branches, antlers branches and so on. When drawing bamboo branches, we should not only consider the distribution of bamboo leaves, but also consider the rhythm and charm. Drawing bamboo branches should be coherent with a pen, just like writing cursive script.
