Chapter 185: Sand Art Skills
“He finished a painting by himself?”
Wen Wan was suspicious. She entered the studio and approached the two. Looking at the table, there indeed was a drawing. It depicted a pagoda with a complete structure, detailed lines separating it evenly, and was overall pleasing to look at.
Wen Wan scrunched her brows and asked Ding even more suspiciously. “He drew this?”
Ding nodded.
Wen Wan’s brows creased even more as she looked toward Meng Fan. “You’ve learned this before?”
Meng Fan shook his head.
Ding said, “He definitely didn’t. Professor, you don’t know, but before we began, this iron bro didn’t even know how to spread the sand… But in an hour, he was able to grasp the techniques for sand painting! Then he did these paintings. It was like he could watch once, learn, try it, try it again and he’d know it by heart. Not only is it an exact replica, but he could also one-up you!”
“He’s really that fast?”
Wen Wan was still in disbelief. Instead of going out to eat, she looked at Meng Fan again. “Is Ding telling the truth?”
Ding was innocent. Why would he lie?
Meng Fan nodded, so Wen Wan insisted he perform it for her.
He nodded again and waved his hand, wiping away the pagoda on the table. He then reached out and grabbed a handful of sand and began spreading it on the stand, easing his grip as he moved along. Slowly, the form of a fish appeared. He then made a few dashes with his fingers, and the eyes, fins, and gills became evident as well. In no time, a lively fish appeared on the table.
He then took the remaining sand and placed them in the corner, drawing a few more circles and pushing his fingers down. A water lily appeared.
He grabbed a few more handfuls of sand, and in less than a minute, he realized a scene of peaceful fish among water lilies.
Meng Fan only realized his attributes were beneficial to sand painting after he started learning it. It was too fitting!
The most efficient attribute that was transferred was his hand speed. Initially, he thought hand speed could only help his drawing skills, but after officially experimenting with sand painting, he realized how much power and skill this hand speed really could bring.
If his hand speed was fast, that meant all the nerves in his hands were more sensitive as well, and their muscles were more prominent. Overall, that meant he had better control of his hands!
It didn’t feel like much while he was drawing manga, but his control had been incredible when he was playing arcade basketball. When it came to sand painting, which required using one’s hands like a brush, Meng Fan realized this was the biggest gain of all.
While he was drawing his manga, he had the assistance of a universal pen. But for sand painting, he had his blessed hands. To be a bit excessive, they were basically universal pens!
Wen Wan didn’t see the process for the pagoda painting, only the result, but this time, both were right in front of her. Clean, fast, clear, powerful, bold… his technique was fluid with no extraneous actions. His drawing was abnormal, beautiful, and delicate, producing a painting that was pristine and beautiful. He already expressed the art to its absolute finest!
Although he was lacking a lot in artistic skill, the time it took Meng Fan to learn everything was enough to stun even Wen Wan, who was accustomed to teaching students with incredible talent and skills. It was a shock!
“Don’t need to see it, let’s eat.”
After taking a look at the drawing, Wen Wan knew Meng Fan had mastered the technique. In less than two hours, including the time it took to discuss the skills, Wen Wan was speechless at the rate Meng Fan learned.
No wonder he had the confidence to boast he was a fast learner.
