God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 279

Xu Jingxing looked at Cheng Lin's charming and playful eyes, and said with a smile, "You want to take the exam so much? Then try with An Xin, but let me explain in advance that my requirements are very strict, and failing the test is very serious. Try until I'm satisfied, understand?"

"Little girl cares about it," Cheng Lin giggled, and ran to draw pictures with An Xin.

He smiled and shook his head, pondered for a moment on the rosewood in his hand, and immediately started.

To him, making a seal is indeed a child's science, but if you want to make a good seal, materials and engraving are only secondary, and the most important thing is the design of the seal and the seal button.If the material of the seal is leather, then the printed text is the soul of the seal, and the buttons are the clothes of the seal. A good seal not only has to be beautiful in the skin, but also has a beautiful soul. Finally, it must be matched with a beautiful and appropriate clothes. Just like people.

Of course, he didn't intend to make too complicated seals. After all, he only planned to make a temporary emergency seal, and it was made of wood. It didn't make much sense to spend too much effort, because the lifespan of wooden seals is really not as good as that of gold, jade and iron. , even if it is red sandalwood, sooner or later it will slowly crack after it is stained with printing oil.

You must know that one of the biggest disadvantages of rosewood is that it is afraid of oil. If you just hold it in your hand and play with it, it’s okay, but if you really use it for stamping, it really can’t stand the toss.

So he decided to keep it simple, and directly make the most common and common strip seal, and don't need a button, just polish it to make the most convenient arch shape.

With an idea in mind, I started it directly, and after a few saws, I cut out the prototype of a seal. After simple polishing, a qualified seal was freshly baked. Of course, there is still a lack of seal.

The printed text is also simple, just the four characters "Xu Xu Jing Xing", and I didn't do too much fancy work. I just cut it with a knife, chiseled and hooked it. In less than an hour, a regular script four-character inscribed seal was formed. .

He didn't even test it, just dipped the inkpad and pressed it directly on the boundary painting waiting to be stamped.

"Is it engraved?" Cheng Lin asked differently, and by the way, she leaned over to look at the content of the seal. When she saw the words "Xu Xu Jing Xing", she subconsciously touched the jade tablet on her neck, and then smiled. With a slightly red face, Xu Jingxing rolled his eyes.

Xu Jingxing coughed, "Do your homework seriously."

"Hmph, I'm done, please review Master Xu," Cheng Lin snorted, and handed the rice paper to him.

When he looked down, his eyes immediately lit up, because Cheng Lin's drawing was really impressive. Although it was a sketch, the level could only be considered qualified, but the pattern was clear and clear, and the most important thing was that the creativity was really good.

The design drawn by Cheng Lin is more like an art character, with her name "Lin" as the main body, the overall shape is round, and some of the strokes are replaced by orchids, making the character look more like a small straw flower group , Although the design is not amazing, it is also considered ingenious.

"How is it?" Cheng Lin asked with a smile on her face, raising her neck proudly.

Xu Jingxing smiled, "Not bad, but some details may need to be adjusted."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Cheng Lin hesitated and asked hastily.

"You have been thinking about drawing in Guangnian, but you haven't considered how to use the knife. Do you see that the gap between the two strokes is half a millimeter wide? If you carve according to the size of a conventional seal, you can't use the knife at all, even if you barely carve it out. , once dipped in ink, the printed patterns will also paste together."

In terms of his profession, he didn't save face for his beautiful girlfriend, and continued to refute without mercy: "There is also this orchid pattern, which looks beautiful, but it would feel weird to use it on a seal , change it slightly, and change it to a curly grass pattern, so that it looks more classical."

He didn't just talk, he worked while talking, and revised the design drawn by Cheng Lin in threes and fives. The word "Lin" in the main body has not changed, but other content has changed. On the whole, it is more than one level more beautiful.

The pattern designed by Cheng Lin himself can only fool ordinary people, and it has no special features except for that ingenious little idea, but after such an adjustment by him, the small circular pattern is instantly sublimated, looking simple and fresh, with a touch of It has a faint classical atmosphere, and at the same time, the variant curly grass pattern reveals some elegant temperament.

The curly grass pattern is just a model of decoration. As for the specific content of the decoration, it is not fixed. Generally, carpenters can only carve some classic decorations like cats and tigers. The themes are mostly traditional honeysuckle, lotus, lotus, peony, passionflower, etc. After simplification and adjustment by painters of past dynasties, these patterns have become a standard symbol of traditional culture. Most people will not consider modification or adjustment, but just use them directly.

But Xu Jingxing doesn't care about these, he draws pictures as he draws, he only draws what he thinks is most suitable, he doesn't care whether the pattern has a fixed pattern or not.

The curly grass pattern just painted is a typical example. The elegant orchid grass is skillfully blended into the curly grass pattern, which retains the elegant temperament of the orchid grass and integrates the classic decorative shape. It is also a small innovation. up.

You must know that the curly grass pattern is not just a few grasses drawn casually, but the S-shaped wavy curve arrangement of the flowers and plants outlined in a single line after processing, and then combined with this arrangement to form a two-sided continuous pattern .

The classic patterns are all formed through precipitation and accumulation over time. They are the most suitable shapes for the public's aesthetics. If ordinary people modify them rashly, they will only add to the liking and end up being ridiculed.

But for someone like Xu Jingxing who has a strong artistic creation ability and artistic aesthetic ability, it is really not difficult to make such a small adjustment.

After the transformation, Cheng Lin blinked, "Master Xu is really amazing," she said, taking advantage of An Xin not paying attention, she kissed Xu Jingxing quietly, and then asked with a pretty face, "Master Xu, do I qualify?" Xu Jingxing spoke, and said in a low voice: "If you let me pass, I, I will let Master Xu handle it..."

"Pfft..." Xu Jingxing was almost choked to death by his own saliva, he glanced at An Xin who was unaware, and then gave the female fairy a hard look, his heart beating wildly.

The female goblin was also flushed with embarrassment, but when she saw that he had a nosebleed, she couldn't help it anymore, she laughed "giggle", and frantically pulled a tissue to wipe his nosebleed while laughing.

"Master, did you have a nosebleed? Did you get angry?" An Xin raised her head belatedly and asked.
