Chapter 61 - Difference Between The Real Talent And A Wannabee
Su Wan didn"t catch sight of Lin Yu "s pout , once she was done handing the candy after giving Lin Rui a stick , she sat down and pulled the paper and brushes that Lin Rui had brought earlier .
Lin Rui heaved a sigh of relief then he looked at Su Wan who was monitoring the brush .
Su Wan doodled on the paper once and twice , then tsked in irritation , she had never used a brush to draw before thus her drawings weren"t good enough to be called pretty but it was enough to make people understand what she was drawing .
Then , on the paper she drew the hanfu dress she had seen in one of the ancient drama she had watched in the television once , she was no fashion designer and she did feel a bit guilty about copying another artist "s work but then again if she didn"t do it , her family might end up losing a lot of money . Of course copying someone was a low move but as long as she added her own flare to it , she wouldn"t be stooping to the lowest bar .
Su Wan had drawn a pretty hanfu with a skirt that had pleats in it. Since , she didn"t have colours to colour the hanfu , she added small notes by the sides of her drawing , originally the hanfu was to be made out of a dark blue cloth with a tinge of gray in it , a white blouse that served as a purpose of jacket. She also added a sash on the figurines waist with a peach coloured string of cloth draping , down like a flow of water stream .
" what do you think ? Its pretty right " said Su Wan as she pointed to thr hanfu on the paper " I have left the embroidery part for it , you can embroider whatever you want on it , or you can draw it first to check how it will turn out ?" added Su Wan looking quite pleased with the awestruck expression of Lin Rui and Lin Yu .
Dresses in this era was simple which only comprised of a skirt and a blouse , when had people seen things like half open jacket and sash that had such a pretty floating strings .
" What do you think you want to try it ?" said Su Wan handing Lin Yu the brush , she didn"t wait for Lin Yu to take the brush from her hand instead she slapped it right in his hand .
Lin Yu wasn"t shy at all , instead the moment Su Wan handed him the brush ; he suddenly had a rush of inspiration . Then with the brush in hand, he started drawing , Su Wan who was sitting beside him was stunned at his incredible way of holding the brush , unlike her drawing that looked a bit dull , with Lin Yu adding his touches , the drawing became more and more beautiful .
Lin Yu added small flowers on the hem of the dress , a little cl.u.s.ter of flowers on the sash , a few on the top and then he added the finishing touches to the wide sleeves of the white jacket like blouse .
Su Wan who saw him work with such an incredible concentration was shocked ; it was like watching a rather famous fashion designer work.
Soon , Lin Yu didn"t even knew Su Wan "s help the burst of his inspiration was so incredible that Lin Yu created two and three more dresses , one that had an ombre shade of peach and sea green , then the other had shades like peach pink , black , violet and dark purple .
The more Lin Yu drew the more his drawings came out with more finesse , after five more drawings he moved on from women clothing to males . Some including blue and dark blue shades with embroidery of waves , some more masculine with black , grey and white ombre.
Once Lin Yu was done finished with his last drawing of a male hanfu which had green and sky blue embroidery , Su Wan and Lin Rui was struck dumb . Both of them stared at Lin Yu with mouth agape open , even Su Wan who thought herself as omnipotent because of her modern world knowledge was ashamed , this was the real difference between a true talent and a wannabe .
Just look at those clean and beautiful strokes of embroidery , Su Wan who couldn"t even look at her drawing wished that the ground would open up and swallow her whole .
She was so embarra.s.sed to be the modern transmigrator here !
" Wan Wan wh..what do y..you thi..think ?" asked Lin Yu as he pushed his drawings in front of Su Wan , what could Su Wan say ? that - She was really surprised that a talented person like you was having such a hard life ? If Lin Yu was in the modern world , he had the skill to become a world renowned fashion designer !
" its beautiful " said Su Wan her praise was neither fanatical nor over the top , since she didn"t want to inflate Lin Yu "s young head so soon , she was able to calm herself down very quickly " You have done a beautiful work , hasn"t he ?" prodding Lin Rui in the ribs , Su Wan said .
Lin Rui didn"t need Su Wan to urge him to praise his little brother , in his eyes Lin Yu had done a surprisingly good job , thus he happily nodded and patted Lin Yu "s head " En , Ah Yu , you did an amazing job , all of your drawings are really beautiful , I"m sure it will sell really well "
Hearing his fourth brother and Su Wan "s praises , Lin Yu was unusually happy . In his entire life ; he had never had such a sense of accomplishment before , even though his brothers would praise him for his clean housework and embroidery , Lin Yu thought that it wasn"t something unique and everyone could do it but now that he had done something that was rare and unexpected , Lin Yu felt really happy.
It looks like he wasn"t completely useless !
