(Past and present, artificial and electronic）

My work this time is a complete painting process. The materials used are translucent paper and colored lead as well as some kind of paste, paint, pencils. I think the translucent paper is a better representation of the process of making something from scratch. In the first step I made a pencil sketch, which was the original idea. The second layer I draw is a rough draft of the first layer to sketch out the first full concept. The third layer is the second layer after repeated modifications and then the final check-off line. And then the fourth part is the paint, and the fifth part is the background that I want to highlight, so I chose a few things to map.

I used the hand-held texture we learned in now to complete the image, as well as Tracey, editor. Drawing Now Between the Lines of Contemporary Art, I. B. Tauris, 2007, pp. . Playing with appearance in ix-xii. Use different materials to paint, to play.

Why Do I want to do this work to show a painting step, because as I rely more and more on computer drawing, I think computer drawing and machine drawing will replace the manual drawing in the future? Because today’s art, games, including animation is the use of computer and software to do the synthesis. Nowadays people rely too much on computer software to make some beautiful pictures so that our minds are fixed. Of course, computer drawing also has the advantages of computer drawing convenience, can do things that hand-drawn can not do. But I hope that through my work, I can feel that hand-drawing and computer drawing are opposites, just like the two little people playing chess in my picture. We can’t all be too dependent on one side. There are things on either side that can not be done on the other, like a computer that can’t really see a picture up close, that can’t be made into a solid object, that can’t be touched in three dimensions. You can’t draw inspiration quickly when you’re creating something.

But what computers can do, so can traditional painting. When it comes to animation, the computer needs to draw frame by frame, just as I did this time. From the first draft, to the line draft, to the color. I just want to show that what computers do, traditional painting can do, and can be shown separately. And visually present it to the viewer.
