God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 126 Difficulty in choosing

Xu Jingxing had carved countless pieces when he was young, and he didn't have any problems with his calligraphy and seal cutting skills.

But it was the first attempt to combine carving and calligraphy to make a seal. Even before that, he couldn't imagine that one day he would use such a high-end material to make a seal.

So he was a little timid for a while.

But I’m sorry, the work has already been taken over, and there is only one way in front of me, conceive well, design well, and strive not to let down the trust of old man He and the valuable bloodstone.

I started to conceive after dinner, but I stayed up all night and didn’t make up my mind until dawn. In the end, I couldn’t even leave the stall. I spent a whole day designing three sets of plans, making drawings, and making plans again. After a simple rendering, I went to sleep.

This sleep went straight to dawn, and after breakfast, he called old man He to ask if he was at home. After getting an affirmative answer, he took three sets of design plans and a complete set of carving tools and went straight to old man He's house.

It was old man He who opened the door. The little girl was going to school, so she was naturally not at home at this time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Jingxing put three sets of design proposals on the coffee table, "Mr. He, take a look, which one do you like?"

The moment old man He saw the design drawing, his eyes lit up, and he was as happy as a squirrel who found a lot of pine nuts, "Okay, okay, that's great."

Xu Jingxing said dumbfoundedly: "Don't just say yes, but give me an answer first."

Old man He scratched his ears and cheeks happily, "I like them all, what should I do?"

"...I am asking you, not you asking me," Xu Jingxing was a little speechless, two people with difficulty in choosing together could really be anxious to death.

"Hey, I don't know how to choose?" Old man He said with a sneer.

"If you don't know how to choose, you have to choose one, or you can just choose one with your eyes closed."

"It's a good way," Old Man He really went all out, closed his eyes and messed up the three blueprints, and then picked one at random, "That's all," he opened his eyes and looked happily, " My luck was pretty good, and I actually picked the one I liked the most."

Xu Jingxing also nodded, admitting that he had good luck with the old man, and that the one he was most proud of was selected.

After picking out the design drawing, it's time to start. He pointed to the tool bag in the corner and said, "Mr. He, do you mind if I occupy your space?"

"You want to do it at my house?" Old man He was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "No problem, no problem, just mention anything you need, and I'll help you. By the way, just a few tools?"

Xu Jingxing explained with a smile: "For me, it's easier to make a seal. I only need a carving knife. Apart from the carving knife, I only have sandpaper of various types and some beeswax in my bag."

"So simple?"

"It's that simple. I don't know how others do it. Anyway, for me, some of these things are enough, and I don't even need a small wooden hammer."

"This is a stone. Although the texture is relatively soft, it is not low in hardness. Normal people have to use a woodworking hammer to cut the knife when making woodcarving," Old Man He was quite surprised.

Xu Jingxing proudly made a flexed arm movement, showing off his arm muscles, "Did you forget? My arm is very strong. As long as the knife is hard enough, it can be used for carving wood or bloodstone. finish independently."

Old man He slapped his forehead suddenly, "No wonder, I always feel that your works have a special style. I couldn't understand the reason for it before. Now that you say it like this, I understand that other people's woodcarving is really doing it. Woodcarving, and when you do woodcarving, you are painting with a carving knife, so the knife technique is more delicate and free." He said and sighed: "It seems that learning to carve requires talent, and people with insufficient arm strength really can't reach you. This level."

Xu Jingxing smiled, and didn't want to explain any more. His arm strength is estimated to be beyond the reach of ordinary people. Naturally, no one can learn his carving skills, unless there is such a guy born with a natural talent like Popeye. .

Old man He is very enthusiastic, wandering around him before and after running, constantly asking if he needs help, which makes him a little annoyed, but it is understandable that people nowadays are more curious about these relatively unpopular skills, and if they have the opportunity Excitement is inevitable to witness.

Unfortunately, he really doesn't need any help.

Carving a seal is not particularly difficult, but it is even easier in his hands, and according to his design, there is no need to use too many knives on this valuable chicken blood stone, and the weight, size and shape of the finished product are similar to the original stone , which is equivalent to the shape carving of sculpture works, or the northern school of the two major schools in the jade carving industry. The northern school is what people often call northern workers.

In the jade carving industry, the southern workers are delicate and graceful, while the northern workers are bold and majestic. It is not bad for the workers to leave fifty catties, while the northern workers can leave seventy to eighty catties or even more.

Of course, with fewer knives, the style is more freehand, which is not appreciated by ordinary people, so relatively speaking, Nanfang Gong is more popular.

But for Xu Jingxing, it doesn’t matter whether you are a northern worker or a southern worker. As long as you can express the beauty and artistic conception of the work, the number of knives is of secondary importance. That's kind of the opposite of the purpose of carving.

His design, which almost completely retains the shape of the bloodstone, does not need to be cut and cut, which is a typical northern style; but he is very careful about the details. Pie's knife skills.

Ordinary sculptors don't have the guts to integrate the styles of the northern and southern schools, nor do ordinary sculptors have the ability.

But he not only has the courage, but also the ability, and he doesn't act recklessly, which is very rare.

After choosing the design plan, Xu Jingxing began to carve in Old Man He's study, directly using Old Man He's desk as a workbench.The main reason why he chose to carve on-site at Old Man He's house was to avoid trouble, because he was worried about taking the chicken blood stone worth millions home for carving. I can't even speak clearly.

Only one day has passed since Zhao Changgeng's incident, and he is on guard.

Of course, it means that making this thing does not take time and is not noisy. It is a very quiet job. It does not require any large and complicated tools. It can be done with a carving knife. The main reason for live production.
