Also, I try to use characters with obvious stroke effects. : FURU へヘㄟ⺁ーレ A "dead connection" like this is also something I avoid. In previous discussions with dntx, it was mentioned that there is a contradiction between "seamless" and "flexible" in character painting. Completely seamless, it is rigid and can only be horizontally, vertically or diagonally 45. The lines are stiff and lack variety. Only suitable for drawing cartoon patterns or writing. Not suitable for drawing realistic style paintings. My lines slightly imitate Iamppkl's paintings, not completely seamless but flexible. What matters is not the seamlessness, but the smoothness of the lines When it comes to smoothness here, it includes requirements for gaps and flexibility. If it is too straight, the thread will die; if there are too many seams, the air will break and it will not flow. Iamppkl's paintings are more similar to sketches. Usually only single lines are used to capture the animation of arms and so on. For example, the streamers in myths and legends ⌒ ⌒ . non-derivable , ㏕ , ㏕ . . ﹚Dislocation The four lines are far apart, but the energy channels are connected. Each section of line should be connected end to end, not seamless, but connected in the same direction, but the seams should be as small as possible. The first taboo is misalignment of the beginning and the end. The second taboo is continuous but not derivation. This is the easiest way to make the line stagnant. Wumi said that characters that pursue the effect of strokes are what give people a simple and heavy feeling. The edges and corners create hardness and appear masculine, so I say it is suitable for painting Water Margin, but not the West Wing. Wumi’s personal style was relatively rare before. Most of the line drawings in the period before the birthday boy came out were charming and enchanting. Therefore, the emergence of wumi’s new style of painting gives people a bright feeling.
