What are the techniques of figure painting in Chinese painting?

There are many character techniques in Chinese painting, which can be divided into three categories: sketch, meticulous painting and freehand brushwork.

Specific technical introduction:

Sketch painting: in ancient times, it was called line drawing, and silk painting in the Warring States period was a form of line drawing. In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Daozi brought the lines of line drawing into full play, the thickness of the structure varied, and the folds of clothes were full of movement and heaviness, which made the characters more vivid. Eighteen strokes appeared in Jiaqing period of Ming Dynasty, which was formed by combining the previous painting methods with some later painting methods.

Meticulous painting with heavy colors: Meticulous painting with heavy colors and meticulous and neat shapes is often used as an ornament. The specific steps are: first draw a specific character image with cooked paper or silk, and then tick the line. When the figure painting is completed, it begins to separate and dye the background color, color, cover color and increase color.

Freehand brushwork: It is to draw thick lines with pen-and-ink drawing before rendering. The ink color is gradually aggravated layer by layer, and lines and color surfaces are drawn first to maintain the unity of the overall structure. Freehand brushwork highlights the author's artistic conception.

Precautions:

No matter what technique is used in Chinese painting, you need to be careful with ink, because painting on the original paper cannot be changed.

You should also be careful when coloring, and show the spirit and state of the characters according to the specific relationship between light and shade.
