8 1 version of human beauty water margin comics which are the most classic?

In the 1950s, comic books appeared from time to time, and many of them crossed the river like crucian carp. Publishing houses around the country began to recruit talents, forming a pattern of "North America and South America".

Among them, Beauty from the North refers to People's Fine Arts Publishing House. People's Artists Association has three recognized treasures of towns and communities, namely Yang Jiajiang, Yuechuan and Water Margin. These three sets of famous cartoons have a high status in readers' minds.

Seventy years have passed. Today, Xiao Xiao will open the dusty pages and look at this ancient cartoon "Water Margin" with everyone.

Text conversion

Before this, comic books with the theme of Water Margin had existed for a long time, but they were all excerpts from stories, not series and not enough weight.

Hu Qiaomu's letter.

People's Fine Arts Society began to plan the project from 1953, and this large-scale cartoon was published one after another during 1955- 1960. Once listed, it was very popular, and it was printed more than 16 times in five years, with a print run of more than 600,000 copies each.

After the project is approved, the original work should be transformed into a comic script. Considering that books can't teach bad children, the editor deleted the scenes of the hero's brutal killing and spitting incense; While omitting the nine-day Xuan Nv, the Machamp Chaos God in Qimen Dunjia and other aspects; Of course, scenes that are not suitable for children have also been greatly deleted.

Create a combination film

They deconstructed the original 120 titles, and then reorganized them into volumes, so that each volume has several stories, which are closely related to each other, which can not only highlight important events, but also avoid being comprehensive and boring.

The original plan for this series was 30 volumes. For some reason, the 26 episodes of Two Broken Tong Guan came to an abrupt end, and the last four volumes could not be drawn. It was not until the listing of New Water Margin in the 1980s that the painter was found again and 30 volumes of Water Margin stories were completed.

A glance at the cover

The cover of comic books is the key. The covers of this set of books are all painted by masters, simple and elegant, with beautiful color lines, which is very different from the so-called Chinese style today.

Whether the forest is deep and leafy or the snow is falling, it is a Chinese-style fine brushwork art language.

The beautiful water wave shading design means "Shui Bo". The background color of each volume is different, but it just echoes the tone of the main picture.

Mr. Sakong, President of Benevolence Aesthetics Society, wrote an inscription for the cover of the whole set. This calligraphy is auspicious, adding a lot of color to the cover.

Next, let's get down to business. Let's look at the pictures in this set of books.

Painting appreciation

At that time, Ren Mei Society assembled six masters of northern painting school: Xu, Bo Xiaohuai, Mo Lang, Wu Guangyu.

Interestingly, the other five people all learn from Xu, and it is not an exaggeration to call them "Xu Men Shui Hu". Their painting styles are similar at first glance, but if you distinguish them carefully, you can still feel their unique style.

There are many experts in the beauty industry: Xu He is in the middle.

For a large set of books, first of all, we should combine the characteristics of the characters and draw a set of manuscripts.

Water Margin Character Design Draft

Great efforts have been made in the character design draft, which looks very fine and vivid.

The following are the works of the painter. I put my subjective score after the person's name for reference.

1. Xu (score: 3.8 points)

Xu was a leading figure of Beijing-Tianjin painting school in 1930s and 1940s, and also a leading figure of this painting school. He had already painted a single book "Three Big Zhujiazhuang" before, and this book collection task he drew it again, only this book.

Pan Qiaoyun and Pei Ruhai in Sanda Zhujiazhuang

Xu is good at traditional meticulous figure painting. Judging from his painting style, he may have borrowed from Tang Yin in Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and his modeling is full of classical figure painting characteristics.

"Sanda Zhujiazhuang" Hu Sanniang

It is said that Master Xu did not draw cartoons, but put pen to paper to draw pictures, with free and smooth lines.

Sung River has a headache in Sanda Zhujiazhuang.

"Sanda Zhujiazhuang" Lin Chong

Lin chong conforms to the image of the original leopard head, and the posture of the horse is also in place.

"Three Zhujiazhuang" Group Banquet

This book is worthy of attention, whether it is Xu's position in the painting world or the heavy plot of "Three Beats at Home".

Rao, I personally think that Xu's "three strings" can only be said to be acceptable, and some disciples have obviously surpassed him.

2. Bo Xiaohuai (score: 3.6-4.5)

Bo Xiaohuai, a native of Hebei, was born in a famous family. He was a child prodigy, and later worked as a teacher in many art schools, and learned many skills from Master Xu.

There are more than 3 100 pictures in the whole series, and Bo Xiaohuai drew more than 1500 pictures himself! No one can match his efforts. He painted History of Kowloon, Wild Pig Forest, Lion Building, Tokyo Li Kui jy Lantern Festival and so on. , with 65,438+02 volumes. It can be said that one episode and half episode of Old Water Margin are Bo Xiaohuai's personal show.

History of Kowloon

Bo Xiaohuai's pen power is strong, his composition is unique, his composition is vivid and changeable, and he can often stretch boldly, making Liangshan heroes more "wild".

The picture shows Shao Huashan and Shi Jin sitting and drinking, which shows that Bo Xiaohuai's shape is neat and rigorous.

History of Kowloon

The picture shows Shi Jin seeing someone peeping at him in the distance. Old Water Margin as a whole has the shortcomings of dull comics in the Republic of China, but the perspective effect of this picture is good enough.

Yezhulin

Gao Yanei molested Lin Niangzi and was discovered by Lin Chong. He was desperate and fled over the eaves.

Although the traditional meticulous painting is ugly, the scenery is brilliant, with pavilions, trees and white clouds, creating a distant ancient meaning, far better than the cartoons in the late 1980 s.

Lin Chong on a snowy night in Liangshan

Lin Chong made a flood in Chai Jin's villa. The leopard's head swings and lifts its legs very handsome. You Simiao is painted on the clothes, which is light and dynamic.

"Happy Forest" Song Wu hits the tiger

The image of Song Wu is not as good as that of Lin Chong. People and tigers are on the same plane, lacking realism. The tiger is big but not fierce, as if playing.

The Revenge of Song Wu in Happy Forest

Song Wu went to the Yuanyang building for revenge, and Zhang Dujian's family had a panoramic view. Here is the night, using a semi-dry brush, similar to the crayon effect.

Sanshan Juyi

Besides foot fights, there are many wonderful horse fights in the Water Margin, such as Qin Ming playing Huyanzhuo. If you look at Hu's riding carefully, it is really a dark horse, except that its hooves are white.

Sanshan Juyi

Men earn Qingzhou, Qin Ming catch up with a hammer, smashed Mr. Murong magistrate's head. Somehow, Bo Xiaohuai forgot to draw a helmet tassel for Qin Ming. Is it that the arrows were shot randomly in the city? Bare head looks a bit funny.

Jy Lantern Festival in Tokyo Li Kui

"Li Kui jy Downtown Tokyo" Bo Xiaohuai also drew a painted version, which was very beautiful, and was later reprinted.

Yan Qing's beating.

Yan Qing Radar is the only manuscript in the old Water Margin series that has been preserved so far. We should treat it well and cherish it. Every line drawing is very fine, and only the original can clearly show every pine needle, from which we can fully appreciate the artistic charm of Bo Xiaohuai. This episode is obviously a painstaking work in the later period of the series, and the painting style is mature.

Yan Qing's beating.

Look at the text on the left. Written and mounted in neat and beautiful fine print by calligrapher Dong Liyan, it can be printed at one time.

Excellent comic books are not won by a single picture, but by the comprehensive impression formed by book binding design, calligraphy, copywriting and other factors, which is why the current comic books are reprinted with higher accuracy and larger size, but readers still feel that they are not as tasty as the old ones.

Due to the heavy task and tight time, Bai Xiaohuai's works have some ups and downs, and generally speaking, they are not lost to his teacher Xu.

3. Chen Yuandu (score: 4.8)

Chen Yuandu, a man of the hour in Beiping painting circle during the Republic of China, studied under Jinbeilou, learning ancient methods and new things. He also undertook many tasks in the Water Margin Project, including six volumes, namely, Yang Zhi Selling Knives, Qingfeng Village, Daming House and Song Jiang Killing Cherish, among which Daming House has 206 pages, which is a lot of effort. Let's see how he painted it.

"Yang Zhi Selling Knives" Lin Chongdou Yang Zhi

The figure's posture is more in line with the human body structure, more natural than Bo Xiaohuai's, and the face is not as ugly as other painters. The lines are very clean and bright, without any carelessness.

"Yang Zhi Selling Knives" School Competition

In this picture of the deep-water bomb versus the green beast, Suo Chao's axe is cute and their horses are mini, so they are worried that they can't bear the weight of these two brave soldiers.

"Song Jiang kills pity" Song Jiang pulls the woman to cherish.

Close-up to see the conflict and interaction of the characters, the strength and focus of the action are in place.

"Song Jiang kills pity" Lei Heng saves Song Jiang

Xiao 'ao Mountain in Qingfeng Village

Lanterns on Aoshan Mountain are rarely seen now, but they can be appreciated in Chen Yuandu's works.

Qingfeng Village was exposed by Song Jiang.

There are many people watching lanterns, and all the painters are neatly stacked together without any sundries.

"Qingfeng Village" Xin Huang is still fighting.

There was smoke everywhere, and all the minions went out. Fighting with a horse is good, but the horse is still small. Xin Huang is like a wooden horse riding a child. Chen Yuandu's characters are all so short and round, but they are lovely and love, and they are very Q with online adjectives.

In addition, it is difficult for Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin to single out the three heroes of Qingfeng Mountain. Is his nickname self-styled

"Qingfeng Village" Qin Ming was shot by an arrow.

Qin Ming's helmet tassel was shot by Huarong Road, with beautiful composition and good perspective.

Classic trick in Daming Mansion

Unlike Bo Xiaohuai, Chen Yuandu shows the night with thin and parallel black lines.

Classic Arrow in Daming Mansion

Daming House is a gathering of heroes.

Pay attention to the expressions of several heroes, which are vivid and not blunt at all. Especially in Gongsun Sheng's small eyes, an atmosphere of joy comes out, which is very valuable among the old painters.

Chen Yuandu followed the painting style of Song and Yuan Dynasties, and each stroke was very delicate, with vivid characters and strict discipline. Of the six painters, I like his volume best.

4. Moran (score: 4.8)

Morang, formerly known as Wang Suda, is a pen name. He is a teacher in the Fine Arts Department of Fu Jen Catholic University. His painting skills are very profound. There are three volumes this time: Shi Jiecun, Big Broken Horse and Three Defeats to Gao Qiu.

Big broken chain horse

Chen Yuandu's lines are round and soft, and the ink waves are very different. It is a typical righteousness, and it is more imposing.

Moran's horse battlefield is much better than others. The horse shakes its mane, the characters are nervous, and the fight is on the verge.

"Big Broken Horse" San Niang shows off

The "big broken horse" moved here to steal armor.

When the armor was stolen, a bell hung upside down on the drum, which was lifelike and the scenery was fresh and tidy.

"Shi Jiecun" was publicly announced.

Moran's lines are strong and powerful. He uses iron lines to draw, likes to outline the texture of clothes with long straight lines, and his eyebrows are also very distinctive. Readers can master his style after reading one of his books.

"Three defeats in high autumn" was defeated in ten verses.

The other two books are reprint printing sources without original manuscripts, so the effect is not as good as that of serial horses.

5. Ren Lvying: (score: 3.2)

A native of Hebei, he taught himself painting in his early years and was later admitted as a disciple. His meticulous New Year pictures are very famous, and most of them are based on classical stories, such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Later, he did a lot of theoretical research on comics.

His works include Lu, Gaotangzhou and Two Broken Tong Guan in three volumes.

"Lu" angered the bully

Ren Lvying's brushwork is exquisite, his attitude is meticulous, he never perfunctory, and there is also a local flavor in elegance. However, the perspective problem is very big. The figure seems to be a flat piece of paper, which obviously doesn't come out of the classical perspective paradigm, so many friends don't like his paintings.

Lu upside down weeping willows.

"Lu" drunk town of Kansai

The character's movements are not strong, and every movement is like posing.

"Gaotangzhou" Lei Heng flail Bai Xiuying.

Ren Lvying's understanding of the proportion of character structure is not profound, and his handling of the position and spatial relationship of characters is far less than that of previous painters.

"Gaotangzhou" Li Kui jy plays Yin Tianxi

Li Kui jy's fist is a symbolic gesture, which also startled Yin Tianxi.

Gaotangzhou

Even beating a horse is a gentle gesture. Such slender lines are not suitable for drawing martial arts dramas. Ren Lvying is already a literary drama. He painted many beautiful women. He is used to static pictures, so he can't turn this corner.

6. Wu Guangyu (score: 3.8)

Wu Guangyu, a native of Zhejiang, was a lecturer at Beiping National Art College. His paintings are deeply influenced by folk operas and ancient murals, and he admires the painting style of Tang and Song Dynasties, with rich and smooth lines.

He contributed a volume of this book, the outline of the birth of intelligence, and his participation was not high.

"Intelligence and Birth Outline" Red-haired Ghost Fighting with Wing Tiger

Wu Guangyu advocates "in the form of a divine monarch", grasping the eyes, gestures and action details of the characters is conducive to vivid expression, with clear priorities and details.

Summary of outwit's birthday

Wu Guangyu's fighting scenes are much more beautiful, and the word "wild enough" makes Yang Zhi and Lu's faces look like savages.

Yang Zhi got up.

Liu Tang and Chao Gai in The Outline of Intelligence and Birth

The most striking feature of Wu Guangyu's paintings is ferocious, and sometimes he can't tell whether he is a man or a beast.

The whole old water margin is simple and elegant, with simple pictures, lively characters, no artistic skills and very grounded.

Fu huo, reprinted in the new century.

Old Water Margin prevailed in 1950s and 1960s, and it had a great influence among the people. Unfortunately, for some reason, the manuscript was destroyed. What a pity! Now only the manuscript of Yan Qing's beating is left. Although the People's Artists Association has made some reprints, it is difficult to restore the original style.

Therefore, this set of books has been underestimated, and young and middle-aged readers generally have a deeper impression and a better impression on the water margin comics redrawn in the 1980 s.

From 20 10 to 12, after "vigorous" retouching, Ren Mei Society republished the rice paper version of Old Water Margin, which is recognized as the best quality version at present, and reserves the standard of reading the old version.

20 10 imitation publicity version

In 2003, a small hardcover brocade box was published.

In 2003, People's Artists Association published a small hardcover yellow pages, and now the market price remains high.
