The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 80 Learning to Draw

After returning from Chen Jingle's house, Chen Qiyun ran to tease the two cats at home.

These two cats raised by my grandfather are a bit ugly.

No, I should say it’s ugly!

Both of them are cow cats, but they are not the common ones with mostly black and straight faces. Instead, they look like they have been dyed half way out of ink, and the ink dots are unevenly distributed.

One of them had a big painted face, like the traitor in the TV series with two plasters on his face. He was extremely ugly.

The other one has a half-black head, basically white body, and no tail.

Both of them are very thin and their coat color is not good-looking. They are far inferior to Chen Jingle’s big fat cat.

Chen Qiyun didn't understand why she could be so ugly.

Oh, no name yet.

For rural cats, having no name is the norm.

After all, you only have a life, no one cares about where you die, and the owner can only scold you a few times, feeling sorry for the lack of a good mouse catcher in the family.

That's all.

Chen Qiyun was a little excited and talked to the two cats using the two cat language that Chen Jingle taught her.

"Mi~aw~" (Hello)

Sure enough, both cats responded. They both looked at Chen Qiyun, but they didn't dare to come closer.

But before she could say the second sentence, grandma said very unhappy: "What are you meowing there for? Stay away from the cat and be careful about scratching you. If you are scratched, you will have to get an injection."

Chen Qiyun was silent, stood up and tossed her hair: "I know."

In a sense, grandma was right. If she stayed away from the kitten, there would be no danger of being scratched.

You must know that vaccinations cost hundreds of dollars. There are cases in the village of children who went to the hospital for injections because they were scratched by cats.

If she loses hundreds of dollars for no reason, her mother will have to scold her to death.

Her plan to learn cat language was frustrated at the beginning.

…

Return to the room.

Chen Qiyun thought for a while and sent a message to Li Beixing.

"Teacher Li, do you want to learn cat language?"

Li Beixing quickly replied: "Why do you want to learn that?"

"You can communicate with cats!"

"You will?"

"certainly!"

"hehe."

Seeing the word "hehe", Chen Qiyun became angry: "I really know how to do it!"

Although I only know a few sentences, I still know how to do it.

Just like she failed the English test but still dared to say that she knew English.

English teachers have said that when you go abroad, as long as you know some simple words and use your fingers to make gestures, others will be able to understand you.

So it’s okay to know a few sentences, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Li Beixing: "You should learn English well first and then speak. We won't test cat language in the exam."

Chen Qiyun was immediately discouraged.

You are right, cat language is not tested in the exam.

"It would be great if there was a cat school. From the principal to the teachers, all the cats would be in charge. Then we humans could become international students!"

Chen Qiyun's thoughts diverge.

Back to reality.

She said to Li Beixing: "Well, actually I only know a few words, but my brother does. Cats can understand the cat language he speaks. It's amazing!"

Although she didn't say anything when facing Chen Jingle, she actually admired and admired him deeply.

In her opinion, Chen Jingle seemed to be omnipotent.

How can people be so powerful!

Li Beixing was speechless. Why didn't you say that your brother's cat can do somersaults and fly a fighter jet?

She knew that Chen Jingle knew a lot of things, but it was a bit ridiculous to say that he knew this and that.

It should be noted that people's energy is limited. It is difficult for ordinary people to master a skill, and most people only stay at the introductory stage. Only those who have outstanding talents and successfully discover their talents can reach heights in a certain field that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Sadly, most people may not be able to find their talents throughout their lives.

Chen Jingle's talent in calligraphy should be better than many people, but he doesn't seem to be keen on it.

It's a bit of a waste, and it feels like a pity.

Thinking of Chen Jingle, Li Beixing lost all sleep. He thought about it a lot, and in the end he became more and more distressed.

I can only sigh.

"My indecisive character really... won me over!"

…

afternoon.

The sun is strong outside.

Chen Jingle moved the snack cart and lemonade in the refrigerator into the room without even leaving the door.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After reading the Outline of National History, my head was swollen by the political logic, so I wanted to do some entertaining study to relax my mind.

After much thought, he decided to learn painting.

Since ancient times, calligraphy and painting have not been separated into different families.

I have already learned calligraphy, so it makes sense to learn painting.

There are many types of painting. According to tools, materials and techniques, we can simply divide them into two categories: Chinese and foreign.

Ink painting, which is what we often call Chinese painting, ranges from basic ink to advanced color ink, from freehand to realistic.

Then came the oil paintings and drawings that came from the West.

Considering that when learning something, you should start with what interests you most, and what Chen Jinngle is most interested in is sketching and ink painting.

The interesting thing about sketching is that there is not much preparation required. As long as you have paper and a pencil/ballpoint pen, you can draw.

Whether you are on the street, in the subway, or in a cafe, walking or standing, you can start writing whenever you want.

Chen Jingle had seen videos of people casually sketching portraits of strangers on the subway.

A casual creation can bring happiness to others for a whole day or even several days. For the rest of their lives, every time the recipient sees this painting, he will probably think of that beautiful afternoon.

This is a very interesting thing.

What is interesting about ink painting is that you often think it is freehand Chinese painting, but it is actually realistic.

Like a setting sun spreading over the water, half the river is rustling and half the river is red.

Another example is the setting clouds and the solitary owl flying together, the autumn water is the same color as the sky.

This kind of artistic conception may only be experienced by Chinese people.

romantic!

It’s so romantic!

Misty rain, falling snow, blank space, window scenery, floating light... Such Chinese aesthetics are presented in calligraphy, painting, architecture and other arts, which is a very pleasing thing.

If he can learn and inherit one or two skills, for Chen Jingle personally, it will also be a great improvement in his overall level.

So you have to learn painting.

As for how much you can learn, it depends on your personal talent.

He himself does not have too high aspirations. It would be enough if his painting skills could one day be half as good as those of his bosses.

At that time, you can shamelessly say that you have entered the palace.

…

Chen Jingle decided to start with relatively simple sketches.

He made two preparations.

One is to read more works by big guys, improve your own aesthetic level, understand what kind of works are excellent, and have a rough standard in mind.

The other one is to learn theory, be pragmatic and understand the basic concepts of painting first, and then talk about other things.

The nine-story platform starts from tired soil.

Even if he has a powerful system to assist him, he should still learn from the basics. If you don't lay a solid foundation, it's easy to cause problems if you want to continue to move up later.

After living for 30 years, haven’t you suffered enough?
