CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Why is there something like cotton in the gypsum ant nest?

1. Why are there cotton-like things in the gypsum ant nest?

Is it mold? Or is it debris from ants chewing on the plaster?

Better look at the picture.

2. Are there any ants that are suitable for medium-sized flat plaster nests? They are numerous, reproduce quickly, and are fierce.

Flat-headed ants, sickle-hunting ants... Others can be imagined

3. What is the name of this plaster?

It's Venus. This is her profile picture.

4. What kind of plaster is often tested in the Environmental Art Department of the China Academy of Art? How much does it usually take to pass?

Those four are the common ones.

Agrippa, the pirate. Voltaire, David.

In addition, the chances of Hippo and Marseille passing the test are relatively small, but you should still practice them.

I use 8K. Of course I use sketch paper!

How well do you need to draw to pass? The shape is the most important thing, you must get it right, otherwise you will be PASSED immediately. Don't think that this shape is easy to get right, many people can't get it right even after a year of drawing those four shapes.

During the two or three months I was in Hangzhou, I only painted Agrippa and Voltaire. I had to memorize every angle, the light and shade, etc. But in the end, it was still not very accurate.

Just start with lighting work. Once you’ve memorized the light, you can then paint with natural light.
