街頭.人像寫生_Streets and Portrait Drawings

人.藝術_Human and Art

知識好比貝殼,悲痛好比細砂,當人生經歷越豐富,外殼也就越來越厚,細砂也成了五彩的珍珠,貝殼越來越美,越來越繁複,也越看不清楚,當想開了脫殼而出看個清楚,也變成最後一次的看到真實自己.
留下來的是數不清的貝殼紋路與珍珠令人著迷的色彩.

琴棋書畫.言語.文字.網路.電腦如橋梁或觸手.
當我們設法把所有精力發揮在這些工具,想去了解奇蹟,到頭來找尋的其實是人本身. 人的歷史裡重複的印證這些,但人總是得重複走過一樣的路去體驗,然後紀錄下來給下一代.
受感動,感動,到頭來都是因為我們是人

以上是看了Mark Rothko的畫和文字後的感想

(2009.06.18修訂中)

Instruments, chess, books, paintings, brushes, internet, and computers are all bridges that connect the real feelings between humans. We spend all our life time to build these tools and enhance it. After all, it is not the things which touch us, it is the human itself moved us. The history constantly repeats this, and people could not feel until they go through it and than they wrote it down.

Life Drawings and Life Digital Painting

She was a very good model. Holding poses really well and for the last one hour, the second session she went back to exactly same pose right away.
For drawings I try a new Faber Castell charcoal pencil(Medium).
It gives me much smooth shading than regular compressed charcoal.

Nowadays everything shift fast and people look for something new rather than something lasts longer. Good or Bad? Time became fragment and for what we could do is limited.
In an hour, I won't be able to finish a oil so I did this one hour digital painting.

昨晚的Model非常的好,不只動作好,連最後一個小時長時間的動作,都可以回到一模一樣的動作.這次試了新的炭筆,比起一般的炭筆更可以畫出連續色調,不過因為蕊心比較小,對於大的畫面不太容易.

有關零碎的時間與創作形式

5分鐘:可以攝影或速寫,這是我認為最快速的創作方式.
10分鐘:可以速寫.
一個小時:可以完整素描,如果是彩色,水彩也是好的媒材,但油畫就相對困難,有太多的步驟不易簡化,如今電腦可以做到局部,完整的上色,但問題是只能在室內,顯示屏幕的發展對戶外強光仍沒有好的解決方案,但有些數位創作的畫家做到了戶外寫生,而且都在短時間內完成.
三個小時:是基本油畫創作的最底線,前後準備工具,實際作畫可能少於兩個小時.

生活總是這樣的,人生而是群居,孤立生活最終導致的是一灘不流動的水.
在整個環境變遷和人們價值關連續改變下,有人的想領導大眾,走向各別的理想大地,有人是隨波逐流,不管如何都是得改變. 在改變的情況下,人都還是有情感抒發與寄託.
這是上面這張一小時的數位人體的由來.也是感嘆個人創作時間零碎和短暫.

InCG Magazine Interview_INCG雜誌訪問PDF

This is a Chinese Magazine in Taiwan and this interview is about How I merge traditional art and digital art. Now Computers are powerful enough to handle larger size of Canvas and 3D graphic technology is very powerful. The task for current artists in this industry is how to take advantage of the old masters and apply it to digital art.

所有新的發展不見得會被歷史記載,能留百年千年的畢竟是少數.
從十年前開始,運用電腦繪畫如爆炸般的方式展開,這關鍵點也是電腦發展到可以實際運用的程度.如今從事這方面影像工作的人們,最重要的是學習古代大師的智慧進而運用到現代數位藝術上面. 然而現今3D電腦繪圖的發展相當驚人,運用的層面也越來越廣,善用和結合將會是未來需要面對的.

A Still Life Painting_Cherry

These cherries dropped this morning.

I taped it on a canvas and painted this.

Since I try to mimic the traditional way which I will do with oil painting, I did this one with two brushes, two layers, and eyeball to select color without UNDO in Photoshop.

今早出門時在院子撿了這剛從樹上掉下的櫻桃, 正在欣賞這只有短暫壽命的櫻桃,決定將這美捕捉下來,於是用紙膠貼到油畫布,畫了這張.
在電腦裡開了一張約20吋的畫布,因為想模擬傳統畫法,畫的過程只使用兩個筆刷,兩個圖層,背景色和前景的櫻桃,以及用肉眼選色,也完全避免UNDO.

Here is 1:1 Cropped from Original Painting.

這是作畫時原尺寸裁切的一角.
