Chapter 183 - Professor, I Want To Learn Sand Painting! (1/2)

Sand art!

While Meng Fan was being humored by this “Into the Sand” song, a form of art classification appeared in his mind.

Drawing as an art couldn’t be performed or be suitable for performance… until sand painting appeared.

The art form of ‘sand painting’ appeared relatively late in history and even later in the eyes of the public. Initially, sand painting was just static sand painting. Using glue or latex as a base layer, people would sprinkle sand over it to create art. Slowly, a more dynamic form of sand painting was developed in the late 1970s until recently where it had become popular.

Sand painting performances were ephemeral. When combined with its unique charm, staging, and beautiful background music, it allowed the audience to enter a fantastic realm of visual enjoyment with a high value for appreciation.

Meng Fan wasn’t sure what was the first song that accompanied the first live sand painting, but he knew the most famous combination in China—the music video for Eason Chen’s “Nothing to do”.

He was very sure that sand painting could be incorporated into a large performance, especially a fast-tracked sand painting performance.

If he had incredible sand drawing skills and proposed to accompany Bai Zhi… as an artist… It wouldn’t be difficult for her to recommend him to the organizer, and they would most likely agree as well.

If Meng Fan wanted to be good at being a backup singer or dancer, it would be very difficult, since these skills required him to learn starting from the basics. Even if he had +8 music sense and could learn much faster than a regular person, it would be a long time in order for him to reach an “incredible” level.

However, sand painting was different. Meng Fan’s current drawing skills were at +23. In addition to his existing attributes, he was godlike!

Plus, this +23 drawing skill wasn’t just for manga. It included a wide scope of other artistic mediums, only he had never tried them before. If it was impossible to have +23 for every category when he first started, he could just familiarize himself and adapt to the medium.

How long would that take him though?

It would take a long time to reach +23 level, but it should take no time to reach +10 or +15 level, which was more than enough!

The attributes of imagination, set design, scriptwriting, etc were all required for the creativity involved in creating sand painting performances. Also, Meng Fan had a hand speed of +16, which was perfect for real-time sand painting!

No no no!

At this moment, Meng Fan felt that the attribute value he had just described wasn’t that accurate because an alert had just sounded in his mind.

“Ding! The total number of collectors for your manga has reached 1 million, completing the [Collector of Millions] task. Reward: +100 points.”

“Ding! You’ve completed the [Collector of Millions] Task, receiving the title [Collector of Millions] (Drawing skills +3, set design +3, screenwriting +3)”

The number of collectors for his manga had already reached 800,000 in the last few days and had been increasing since then. When Meng Fan uploaded the latest chapter yesterday, the two books had accumulated just over 900,000 collectors. In a day, it had gathered 100,000 collectors; this data was somewhat abnormal.

One would understand the reason for this abnormality after one opened the manga.

There were several comments and messages below it that were related to the concert. They must have been curious after watching the stream and searched Meng Fan up and naturally found the manga under related searches.

With the attribute bonus that came with this title, Meng Fan’s attributes had improved another step further. His drawing skills wouldn’t change much, but his set design and screenwriting skills had been doubled which was very helpful.

“Who knew that after finishing this task, the attributes won’t be used on the manga first but sand painting.”
