Chapter 6, submitted as homework, demonstrates amazing skill and technique.
Wang Huiming's reaction was within Cheng Wang's expectations.
Cheng Wang laughed heartily, "Old Wang, have a sip of water first, don't rush."
"Why would I be in a hurry? My student is so successful, I'm overjoyed, why would I be in a hurry?"
"Words are no proof. Here, take a look at the homework I finished last night."
"Oh, then we must take a good look at the works of our great painter Cheng."
Wang Huiming snorted coldly, put the thermos back on the table, and waited to see what Cheng Wang was up to.
rustle--
Cheng Wang lifted the painting tube and poured the homework he had practiced last night, which he had saved for today's critique, onto the table.
There are five sheets in total. Since the sketches are quick to draw, the exam time is fifteen minutes.
To leave Lao Wang speechless, he even drew two more copies, covering the human body in different poses.
"His tail is practically wagging in the air."
Wang Huiming continued to mutter curses, but his hands moved swiftly. He took the assignment and, without further ado, began to grade it.
"You need to be accurate with the form, Chengwang. I've told you many times, you have some old problems... uh?"
The middle-aged man's annoyed face grew calmer, and then a hint of doubt appeared.
With half a sentence stuck in his throat, Wang Huiming remained silent for a long time.
The first thing he looked at was the sketch.
Sketching is the foundation of all three subjects, much like the foundation of a house, and it is the most direct reflection of one's skill.
Because Wang Huiming had personally reviewed all the students' assignments, he had a vivid memory of each student's pre-exam level.
The difficulties in painting this model's portrait, as well as the highlights that need to be emphasized, can be fully described without comparing photos.
The sketch Cheng Wang submitted was the same one he was supposed to finish yesterday: a middle-aged woman with a hesitant and seemingly exhausted expression.
Fine lines are arranged in an orderly fashion to form wrinkles.
Between the light and dark, the bittersweet moments of life are etched, conveying that sense of burden to every reader through the pages.
The spatial structure is well-arranged, the picture is three-dimensional and vivid, and the relationship between light and shadow is comparable to the reference painting.
The most troublesome and difficult-to-understand skeletal structure for art students taking the joint entrance exam is the apparent precision of this sketch, as if it were a photograph of a real person.
His solid foundation is evident.
Let's look at the sketches again.
The scenery before Wang Huiming's eyes suddenly changed.
A young couple, pushing a stroller, seemed to be taking a walk on the street at dusk.
Even with the simple lines of the sketch, Cheng Wang still managed to capture the expressions of the couple very well.
Happiness and fulfillment.
Let's join hands and build a shared future.
The overall tone and mood of the painting are so different from the previous sketch that it seems as if they were created by two different artists.
As for the last item, color.
Because the exam content in Shanghai is now uniformly still life.
The fruit platter was arranged in a haphazard way, without any variety whatsoever.
In addition, Wang Huiming knew that color was Cheng Wang's forte, and with the previous two works being so stunning, his inner threshold was not that high.
even so.
When he carefully examined the work, his skillful color mixing techniques at that time gave the whole picture a soft and comfortable feel.
Even compared to the best color work in the past, it is still obvious that the level has improved by several levels.
He carefully laid the rest of the assignments flat on the table, held the sketches with both hands, tilted his head back, and examined them intently.
After a while.
Wang Huiming then picked up the other assignments in the same way, slowly scanning them from top to bottom, as if trying to catch as many flaws as possible that he could critique.
However, his mouth, which he opened halfway several times and then closed with a conflicted expression, undoubtedly vividly demonstrated the difficulty of turning this idea into action.
Just as I thought.
Cheng Wang smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and waited patiently.
He did not deliberately hide his talents.
On the one hand, I was genuinely curious about what level my skills had reached in the eyes of Wang Huiming, a professional art teacher.
On the other hand, the goal of coming to the art studio this morning was to get things sorted out for the short holiday and get Lao Wang to agree to it all at once. That was much more important than meaningless things like pretending to be weak to deceive others.
Perhaps this is because the mindset changes after being reborn!
Cheng Wang always thought that when he was young and ambitious, if he achieved even a little success, he would immediately want to show it off in various ways.
As for now...
Okay, if you can successfully show off, it's still pretty cool.
but.
With so many years of experience and accumulation, it's only natural for him to paint better than others.
Their hard power is undeniable.
Whether they conceal it or not, their methods and level of understanding are different from their peers, something that they can never catch up to in just a few days of preparation.
Perhaps this sense of certainty, even before the teacher's feedback, gave me an advantage in my confidence.
For Cheng Wang right now, this is what brings him the most joy.
Therefore.
Cheng Wang only wanted to present his painting skills to Wang Huiming in their entirety.
Since no past exam questions were brought, my drawing skills are all up to standard right now.
Ugh.
It seems that our teacher Wang is still the same as always, unable to hide anything at all.
That's better.
To avoid the possibility of having to continue arguing with his biological mother, Lin Qin.
Judging from Lao Wang's appearance, I don't need to remind him. It won't be long before he calls back to report and boasts about how his master produced such a talented student.
In my mind, I could even picture Old Wang's grumbling tone at that moment.
Hmm, I can picture it now!
"Chengwang, did you really draw these yourself?"
Wang Huiming finally finished grading and carefully rolled up the five assignments before handing them back.
Although his words still carried a hint of skepticism, the wrinkles crinkling at the corners of his eyes betrayed his surprise to Cheng Wang.
Cheng Wang deliberately put on a sullen face and said dejectedly, "No, I stole it from the principal's class."
"You little rascal," Wang Huiming chuckled, used to such banter.
"The principal's class? Even if it's the best class, do you think I don't know their level? Take Mu Ziling as an example, her work might be about the same score as yours, and some other excellent students are a bit worse than you."
"However, this is because our studio's teaching is more standardized, which is more conducive to meeting the joint entrance exam standards, giving us an advantage in scoring. Your painting style is closer to the college entrance exam standards, less rigid, and your way of depicting details clearly shows that you have your own ideas."
Wang Huiming let out a long sigh of relief and took another sip of the hot tea from his thermos.
"Chengwang, you really surprised me. I thought you were just trying your luck when you said you wanted to apply to the Yuhang Academy of Fine Arts! Judging from these paintings today, if you can perform at 80 or 90% of your current level on the day of the exam, your chances of getting into the academy are quite high!"
"When did you start practicing like this? Damn, you just spend your days dozing off in the studio, and you're actually practicing at home too?"
"How so? Wasn't that a big surprise?" Cheng Wang grinned, scratching the back of his head.
"I'm used to you scolding me all the time, so it's a little hard to adjust to you suddenly starting to brag. Old Wang, seriously, are there any obvious problems with these assignments that can be improved quickly?"
He sincerely sought guidance from Wang Huiming.
In any case, after graduating from university in my previous life, I was still somewhat estranged from the three major art subjects.
Even if his basic skills are indeed solid, he could still amaze Lao Wang.
However, Cheng Wang also understands that while these works are excellent in terms of visual expression, they may not necessarily meet the requirements for exam scoring.
Whether it's the joint entrance exam or the school-specific exam, they are ultimately inseparable from the scope of exam-oriented education, and it's been more than a decade since my last exam.
From a teacher's perspective, Wang Huiming can certainly see some different things.
Hearing this, Cheng Wang humbly asked for advice, which was quite rare.
He then became serious and pondered for a moment: "Without a doubt, judging solely from the expressive power of your artwork, your skill level is perhaps no less than that of a typical art school student."
"As a teacher, I have always insisted that cultivating your aesthetic ability at this stage is more important than simply burying yourself in hard work. Your work has met my requirements, so I originally did not intend to point out the existing problems."
"Technical evaluation is of little significance when it comes to aesthetics."
Cheng Wang sincerely agreed: "Teacher Wang is right."
"If we really want to be precise, how do we optimize it? First, there's your color, your strongest point. Your painting habits are bad; you repeatedly cover up colors to add details, which makes it look like you've applied a very thick layer."
"In summer, you'll have no problem drawing like this and you'll definitely get a high score. However, winters in the south are humid, and it seems like it might rain on the day of the exam, so the paint won't dry as quickly."
"Although it's not guaranteed, paint that isn't completely dry during the exam might make your painting dirty, thus preventing you from achieving your desired results."
Wang Huiming's incisive analysis suddenly gave Cheng Wang a sense of clarity, as if the clouds had parted and the fog had lifted.
This different perspective is exactly what he needs, to complete the final piece of the puzzle for gaining an information advantage through rebirth.
As the industry has developed with the times, Cheng Wang has been using a graphics tablet for a long time after entering society to do art work on a computer.
Did you draw the wrong line?
Did you apply the wrong color?

Repeated trial and error will eventually lead to what you desire.
Electronic tools not only provide superior visuals, but also bring unimaginable convenience to the entire era.
However, let's go back to 2013.
I picked up my pen again and started drawing on the paper.
As Lao Wang said, long-standing work habits may pose certain hidden dangers.
This reminder sparked Cheng Wang's brainstorming, and he quickly came up with many other details that he, as an art student, should correct during the exam.
"I understand, Lao Wang. I was just demonstrating for you, see if that's what you mean?"
