Among the traditional Chinese classics, "Journey to the West" is a well-known literary work, telling the story of four Tang monks and apprentices learning scriptures from the west. These four people include Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng. Let's take a look at how to draw these four characters.
1. Tang Seng. Tang Seng is one of the main figures in the Western Heaven to learn scriptures, and he has the belief of compassion and universal sentient beings. In the painting, we can choose to depict Tang Seng as a monk with a delicate face and a solemn demeanor. His brows should radiate a light of firm faith and wisdom, and his eyes should appear deep and clear. Tang monk's costume can refer to the robe in ancient Buddhism, and he can choose to use bright colors such as golden yellow and red to highlight his status and dignity.
Second, Sun Wukong.
Monkey King is one of the most distinctive characters in "Journey to the West", he is a monkey with great powers. In painting, we want to focus on his flexibility, wit and bravery. You can choose to depict his figure with bold lines, while highlighting monkey features such as his ears, tail, and hair. Sun Wukong's demeanor should appear confident and resolute, and his eyes should reveal his intelligence and omnipotent characteristics.
3. Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie is another important character in "Journey to the West", he is a pig spirit, honest and cute. In the painting, we can choose to depict his figure with rounded lines, while highlighting his features such as pig ears, nose and short legs. Zhu Bajie's demeanor should appear honest and lazy, and his eyes should reveal his kindness and gluttonous qualities. In order to add interest, we can also add some small details to the picture, such as Zhu Bajie holding a steamed bun or a wine bottle.
Fourth, the sand monk. The Sand Monk is the last character in "Journey to the West", he is a loyal waiter who was once a monster of the Quicksand River. In the painting, we can choose to depict his figure with thick lines, while at the same time highlighting his sense of tallness and power. The demeanor of the sand monk should appear loyal and resolute, and his eyes should reveal his bravery and responsibility. In order to highlight the personality of the Sand Monk, we can also add some battle scenes or show his sense of strength to the picture.
When painting the four masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West", we should pay attention to the in-depth depiction of each character's appearance characteristics, demeanor and personality. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the identity background and personality characteristics of each character to express their personality and emotions. This not only requires us to have solid painting skills, but also requires us to have an in-depth understanding and research of "Journey to the West".
In addition to the four characters mentioned above, there are many other memorable characters and plots in Journey to the West. For example, we can choose to depict different scenes on the way of the four Tang monks and apprentices to learn the scriptures, such as slaying demons and eliminating demons, and experiencing hardships. We can also enhance the story and interest of the picture by adding some background elements, such as depicting landscapes and adding cloud effects.
In conclusion, "Journey to the West" is a classic work full of imagination and creativity, which provides us with many materials and inspiration for painting.
