Chapter 313 - "Why are you unhappy?" (2)

The most visually stimulating effect was not giving someone access to all, or none. It was when it was somewhat hidden, sort of there and sort of not, displaying half and covering up the other half.

Same beauty holding onto a pipa with half of her face covered [by her hair] type of beauty as described in the poem. Simply indomitable. So seductive that would make one stir for half a night and still couldnt get it out of their minds.

Aye!

Gu Shishi tossed again helplessly.

Then she decided to just sit up.

She had taken sketching classes in the past. She had been to quite a few art institutions with her master in the past and there were even a few of Westerner models.

To an artist, a model is nothing but a tool. They are objects whose purpose is none other than carrying the beauty.

Any one who had taken classes like that would know that, regardless of whether they were looking at males or females, there were no emotions involved. Calm was the word.

The only thought that one had was how to interpret the curves of the models muscles, how to handle the bones, and how to insert the light and shadow effects.

Who would have lingering thoughts about the models?

Nobody would!

They were all professionals! There was homework to be done! They needed to climb the tree in the realm of art!

Nevertheless, Gu Shishi after tossing and turning in bed for over 100 times, realized that she was far from being calm.

She gritted her teeth and finally decided to give up on sleeping. She got back up to practice drawing lines and drawing portraits!

Tis was 1 AM.

Gu Shishi pulled out her foot spa and turned on streaming with no hesitation.

She needed companionship. Companionship would help her keep her mind clear.

Today I am going to draw a. mans back. using traditional painting technique.

Having said that, Gu Shishi smacked herself on her good-for-nothing cheeks that were still burning a little.

She quickly picked up her paintbrush and started calming down.

[Eh, Channel Master is a night owl like me?]

[I just thought Id check on here before I go to bed. Lo and behold, the Channel Master that I have seen in a while is on?]

[Long time no see, Channel Master. You voice is even more delicate than before~]

[Channel Master, your fan is right here! I am still awake as well!]

[Painting man in the middle of the night oh, Channel Master, you are no longer the same girl that weve once known! Has spring time arrived?]

[Pretty boys! Pretty boys! I want to see Channel Master painting ancient style pretty boys, can I?]

Many texts scrolled through the screen.

Sure enough, so many were still awake at this hour.

Gu Shishi let out a sigh of relief. She felt much better knowing that wasnt the only sleepless one out there.

Plus, there were so many girls who wanted to look at pretty boys in the middle of the night. She wasnt the only crazy one.

Hmm, okay. Ancient style then.

That didnt matter too much to Gu Shishi.

A few simple etches and a mans back could be vaguely seen amidst the azure, misty rain.

Donations started to be thrown around the channel.

Gu Shishi, nevertheless, did not stop there. The tip of her paintbrush carried on painting.

His black robe floated in the wind. Around his cuffs were dragons outlined by what appeared to be golden threads. He had in his hand a jade xiao (a bamboo flute). His hair was held down by a jade crown and his black hair tie waved in the wind.

His back was straight and he seemed to be walking forward. His steps were heavy. Even the loose and wide robe wasnt able to cover up his fierce aura. Even just his back was sufficient to convey the majesty that could only belong to a ruler.

[Hot dang! 666!]

[Its the middle of the night, Channel Master! I was just about to go to bed!]

[Arrooo. Must you make my nose bleed at this hour?]

[My mom just asked me why I was looking for tissues in the middle of the night]

[I want! Ao, ao, ao. Can I have this painting, Channel Master? Will there be a raffle? Would you like to give it to me? Look at me! Look at me!]
