Velco, a brilliant illustrator, talked about readers, which I think most people are familiar with. Before I was born, my father began to buy and subscribe to this publication with strong humanistic atmosphere and rich content. There are several "a bowl of noodles-beef noodles, a river-the Yellow River, a city-Dongfeng Aerospace City, and a book-a scholar" in Gansu, among which the magazine Scholar is the most famous and has been marketed overseas for a long time.
As a popular periodical, there are not only good articles, but also many high-level illustrations, oil paintings, photography and art appreciation. From the beginning, preschool children like to read books and illustrations, and then read, read and learn to write articles. The process of turning over, reading and reading books began at the age of three or four and continued until I graduated from high school.
When I was a child, I liked to read the illustrations in Reader magazine, most of which were black and white lines. But among them, my favorite is the work of the painter Vilcot. His paintings are full of Zen and philosophy, and a few strokes outline a painting full of charm and philosophy.
Most children have a dream of flying, thinking that there are immortals living on the clouds. When I saw Velco's illustrations when I was very young, I immediately thought that this is what the world on the cloud looks like, ethereal, distant and dense, which was visualized by Dr. Velco's seemingly simple brushstrokes.
Velco himself is not a professional painter, but a cardiologist working in Harbin Institute of Technology Hospital. His paintings are often painted on prescriptions and sometimes on abandoned diagnosis books. Because he is a doctor, the illustrations can be written in Latin, and many people will think he is a foreigner when they look at his name. However, Dr. Wei's English is really great. He often asks his colleagues to test himself with a big book full of complicated medical terms, because he remembers that he can even discuss drama theory with others in English.
Velco's paintings are very simple in color and simple and smooth in lines. Perhaps it is because of the doctor's instinct that he can put the figure painting in place.
His paintings not only have the freehand brushwork and Zen connotation of China's landscape paintings, but also have the profound insight into disorder in western abstract paintings.
Reader magazine once held an illustration design competition. I don't remember the ranking of Velco's paintings, but I clearly remember that Reader published an interview with Velco. Only then did I know that the painter turned out to be a doctor.
Velco said that when he is on duty or free, he draws with prescription paper, which is very casual. He paints whatever comes to mind. He liked to draw two strokes at will since he was a child, and later became a doctor. This hobby has continued. He is very grateful for the cooperation with Reader magazine and the love of readers.
Perhaps because of the doctor's profession, Velco's paintings always show sympathy and warmth. Sometimes there are one or two details in the lonely picture, which will make you feel warm and comfortable.
In 2007, I was a freshman, and it seems that I haven't seen Dr. Velco's illustrations for some time. Later, an article was published in The Reader, saying that the talented painter Velko had passed away.
The article said: Velco has lung cancer.
Velco himself said that he used a highly irritating corrosive liquid to enhance the smudge effect of his paintings, and painting in this way also greatly damaged his health.
But he is still fascinated by it. The ink, psychedelic lines and compassionate graphics rendered on paper make it difficult for him to give up.
The process of watching Velco's paintings is intoxicating. At first, I was attracted by the simple and smooth lines. Later, I was moved by the sad and melancholy temperament. Later, you felt that the atmosphere of this painting was familiar, until at last you felt like a traveler walking in the vast wilderness or under the boundless starry sky, small and full of excitement.
/kloc-Velco's sleepwalking notes published 0/3 years ago are out of print. It may take some effort to read it again today. Velco is undoubtedly a genius, but he is not withdrawn, even a little funny.
There is a lot of Zen in his paintings. Later, when Velco became ill, he also converted to Buddhism. Maybe this is an arrangement.
August 29th this year marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Dr. Velco. As a reader who likes Velco illustrations since he was a child, when he wanted to write something, it happened that this talented illustrator had died for ten years.
But I will still look through Velco's works in the past ten years. Even among professional painters, such thorough and profound insight in his paintings is rare. I think being a doctor has given him more understanding and different perspectives.
Manual notes-illustrations (how to draw a lovely dividing line) A one-page manual usually includes several modules, which can be divided by spaces, simple lines or illustrations for unified management. Mapping and illustration may be more complicated. This article starts with the simplest dividing line.
The simplest dividing line, the appropriate length is not particularly long. The drawing method is simple: draw two wavy lines that are not very rough, mark a point or a small peach heart (free to play) at the vertex, and add a small decoration in the middle.
Straight line plus suspension method. Painting: take a straight line as the main body, imagine it as a plane, and hang various materials at the bottom. Common materials: lamps, national flags, plants.
The characteristic of this kind is that the waves are very special, and all kinds of curly love icons let you walk in the aristocratic gardens of medieval Europe and watch Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Kiss Me.
The drawing method is very simple. Just change all the straight lines in the first part into waves.
European pastoral style, how can we get a light and elegant quill pen? Draw!
When I practice to a certain extent, I can challenge the above styles. I gave it a name: Princess of the Wall! Is it particularly romantic! Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I remember a popular drama a while ago, but I forgot the specific name, which is roughly the same as the princess diary. I bet 100 gross that the heroine in the play must use this diary.
This type is more difficult than the first one, but no matter how difficult it is, it is only the level of art classes for primary school students. We can roll up our sleeves and dip them in ink.
The watermark in the above picture should be the work of an illustrator from Weibo. I suggest everyone who is interested to have a look more. These pictures are very good.
Irregular composition and emotional attachment to the landscape are divided by the shape of the illustration itself. Master!
