Chapter 8: Carving

They were arguing happily, but Lu Zian had already taken action

I am very low-key: Is the screen for sale? Can I make a reservation?

I discreetly rewarded with a rocket

Lu Zian thought for a moment and decided to practice with a technique he was not familiar with before: "Well, today I want to try carving."

Lu Jianwei certainly understands this principle, which is why he said that Xing Guosheng has malicious intentions

Lu Zian furrowed his brow, directly activated the external sound, and while entering his account, he said: "Dad, what’s wrong?"

The first step is naturally to rough out the blank

Do you all know what this is? This is called the筋法, alright!

The rough form serves as the foundation of the entire work, expressing the details of the shapes conceived in his mind through a concise form. It is required to achieve a sense of layering and dynamism, harmonious proportions, stable center of gravity, and a strong overall impression, thereby initially forming the external and internal contours of the work

I have been low-key continuously swiping several times, and when Lu Zian returned with the tools, he was somewhat startled: "Ah, thank you to this brother for the rocket. Do you want this screen? That's fine, but I haven't prepared to carve it too large. At most, it will just be something that can be placed on the table as a decorative piece."

I discreetly rewarded a plane

Lu Jianwei certainly believes in his son, recalling that little wooden horse, he feels that Lu Zian should not be putting on a brave front

I am very low-key: Is the screen for sale? Can I make a reservation?

Yesterday, his father was still shouting that he wanted him to go, and today the invitation has been delivered to the door

I am very low-key: It's okay!

I discreetly rewarded with a rocket

Upon entering, there were surprisingly about ten people inside

I am very low-key: if you don't understand, just leave, stop talking nonsense

Starting from the surface of the wood, he peeled inward layer by layer, as wood shavings slowly grew at his fingertips, as if they had come to life. The wood shavings naturally separated from the areas his fingertips had touched

He pondered for a while before hesitantly saying: "So... do you have confidence in this?"

Good morning, host! What are we carving today

Of course there is. Lu Zian playfully spun the invitation on his fingertips: "Dad, don't worry, there will definitely be someone embarrassed on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, but it absolutely will not be me"

His knife skills are mature and fluid, exhibiting ample expressiveness

When logging into the live streaming platform, he looked at the name of his live room, "Little Craftsman," thought for a moment, and then changed it to "Master Craftsman."

He was logging into the live streaming platform when his father called.

Ah, alright, thank you. After seeing them off, he handed them a cigarette. Upon returning to the room, Lu Zian saw the brand new computer and immediately tossed the invitation aside.

The knife just now should have been cut down directly

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zian raised his eyebrows as he looked at the address on the invitation. Hmm, this place is well chosen, not far from Ningxia County, just right for him to take Shen Mange back to show his parents.

It is so boring, just carving wood, what is there to see

"How can that be?" Lu Jianwei was anxious: "You have no idea of his malicious intentions! Let me tell you, you have just begun to hone your skills; your craftsmanship has improved somewhat, but it is still not stable enough. What you need to do now is to practice more, observe more, and learn more. Do not try to show off against others..."

Lu Zian glanced around but did not find anything suitable, so he simply got up and took a wooden board from the corner, measuring approximately 20 by 90 centimeters: "Hmm, I will just make a small screen. A larger piece would be inconvenient for the live broadcast. Uh, wait a moment, let me get some tools."

Even an outsider can discern the mastery of his knife skills, especially when he intricately carves out excess parts by combining and hollowing along the grain; each detail appears to be measured with a precision that is truly astonishing

After all, Xing Guosheng has some unresolved issues with him, and this time the attack was so ruthless, the intentions of the incoming party are not good

What grand ceremony is there that is important to be broadcast live

The wooden board appears to be quite thin, what can possibly be carved from it

Lu Jianwei gasped: "Xing Guosheng is utterly shameless, it's simply outrageous! Alright, Zian, don't be anxious, I will call him and scold him right away"

"Xing Guosheng has sent you an invitation?" Lu Jianwei was almost infuriated: "It is said that you have already signed for it?"

Duo Duo Duo has rewarded a plane

The board is not thick and is relatively large, so this step took him half an hour

He made up his mind: "Alright, then I will go the day after tomorrow!"

Good morning, haha, I changed my computer today. Lu Zian adjusted the camera to focus on his hand

You just keep pretending, still acting low-key, I scoff!

"Hmm, yes." Lu Zian glanced at the invitation he had thrown on the bed: "What?"

Disgusting!

You know nothing, the host's skills are exceptional

It seems that relief carving is commonly used in architectural decoration, right? What size does the host plan to carve?

Lu Zian smiled and said: "Carving, also known as through carving, showcases figures that embody both spirit and form, with landscapes that are arranged in an orderly manner, smooth lines, and a strong sense of rhythm, reflecting the Southern carving style characterized by 'multi-layered through carving and exquisite transparency.'"

Lu Zian occasionally uttered a sound of acknowledgment, and only after his father had calmed down did he leisurely pick up the invitation and say, "Dad, I understand your concern. You are worried that if I am outperformed by them, I will be discouraged and unable to recover, right? Rest assured, I will not..."

Lu Zian raised his eyebrows, it seems that his father's drunken words have probably leaked out, but he is unsure whether this is the intention of Xing Guosheng or if there is another reason behind it

A considerable number of people were drawn into the live broadcast room by my rather low-key rocket. Lu Zian greeted them, saying: "Welcome everyone, I will begin now."

That works. Lu Zian did not intend to keep this for long, so it was naturally of no concern: "However, it may take a long time. Please add me on WeChat and send me the address. Once it is ready, I will send it to you."

Disgusting + 10086

As he opened the box and rummaged through the materials, he continued to explain: "It not only excels in its multi-layered approach, but also strives for a clever structure and vivid form, making it a relatively challenging craft."

I discreetly rewarded a plane

Mr. Lu, the computer has been set up.

The host did not carve it well! Why are there so many scraps left in the middle

The new computer is indeed lightning fast, surpassing 99% of computers nationwide

Does it mean the same as the eyes of that little rabbit 666

"Dad, wait a moment." Lu Zian paused his actions, picked up his phone, and turned off the speaker: "I am preparing to go, you do not need to say anything to him."

The wind blows, making the bottom cool: Dear Dodo, you have arrived! Goddess, please bestow your teachings!

Lu Zian was unaware of their quarrel; he changed his knife and began to carve the fine blank.

Is it relief carving or hollow carving

I am very low-key: Get lost

"Indeed, I feel I must go. They have even delivered the invitation to my home. If I do not attend, what will they say?" Lu Zian squinted and smiled, "Afraid of trouble, timid; if I do not go out in the future, I will not be able to get by at all."

Indeed, it is impossible to see clearly with all these small details
