On this page, she drew 10,000 strokes, just to let more people see the beauty and preciousness of the green peacock

"I worked hard with the two editors for more than a year. The lining of the book was afraid of drawing at least 10,000 strokes. Now, the picture book has finally met with readers! I hope everyone can like it."

The pages of the cover of the ring finger and the cover of the lock line, the page before the cover of the title page, generally does not printed any text. Many pictures of pictures are just white paper or color paper. Whether it is white paper or color paper, they are very particular. Their colors are often very consistent with the storytelling stories, and they are carefully selected.

The illustrator Yang Siqing wrote this emotion in the circle of friends, which made us curious, what kind of picture book she polished carefully.

Draw nature on paper, print in your heart

Siqing is a girl in Jingpo. She hometown in Yingjiang County, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan. Yingjiang is a well -known bird watching place. There have been 719 birds, ranking first in the country. She has lived here from an early age, the sea of ​​flowers and delicious wild vegetables in spring, the snakes swimming in the summer and the pupa sticky in the grass, the birds that are clear in the sky in the autumn, the singing sound of the valley in winter ... These have long been daily Part of life is melted in the blood of her growth.

The grass and one wood of nature made Si Qing's heart, and the birds and insects in front of her became her favorite painting object. In order to go to a deeper forest to observe the sketch, Si Qing often asked her friends to take her with her.

In her handbook, one page records a variety of wonderful plants and insects in the Yunnan forest: the slender snakes, the seeds of the seeds growing in Ye Xin, the tentacles of the tentacles are longer than the body, The leaf repair of the leaves looks like a leaf ... such a handbook, Si Qing has painted it for many years, and has accumulated a fascinating handbook after opening one after another. These books are like an interesting plant insect encyclopedia.

When hearing "Green Peacock -Where is my home" recruited artist, Si Qing was full of enthusiasm, "Isn't this looking for me?" She has been engaged in business illustration drawing and brand design for many years. The picture book is full of interest. Si Qing said: "The picture book has a good balance of business and artistic, and can give the artist more creative space." "Green Peacock -Where is my home" is already her third picture book work Essence

Picture book is the crystallization of science and art, love and patience

Different from the illustrations of creating other pure literary works, when drawing "Green Peacock -Where to My Home", it is also necessary to consider its own popular science attributes. This requires the painter to be very rigorous and careful during the drawing process.

Si Qing spent three months to collect information and investigate. Although she has many years of forest observation experience, during the investigation, she still went to the forest to collect materials to record more details of animals and plants.

In order to balance the scientific and artistic nature, after many considerations and attempts, Si Qing finally decided to basically retain the form of the animals and plants in the reality. Only with the picture, it was slightly adjusted, and a certain artistic processing was performed in color and composition to highlight the sense of atmosphere.

In the picture book story, it was summer when the egg hatched. It was also summer when the green peacock was finally put back to the forest. The whole process changed throughout the year. Therefore, when creating, the state of the animals and plants is needed to present the scenery of the green peacock habitat in different seasons.

The shape of the animals and plants should also be fits the prototype as much as possible. For example, when drawing green peacocks, it will not deliberately draw it fat and cute, but to restore it as actual in nature as much as possible.

During the one -year drawing process, from sketching and line drafts to the final coloring, Si Qing has maintained close communication with digital popular science consultants, repeatedly modified, meticulous.

Let the "Golden Peacock" not only live in the distant memory

The memory of the green peacock is still when Siqing is very young.

In Siqing's hometown, the green peacock is called "Golden Peacock". Because from another angle, the feathers of the green peacock will emit golden light, which is very brilliant.

In the ring lining, Si Qing drew the golden feathers of the green peacock one by one. This is where she mentioned "at least 10,000 strokes" at the beginning of the article.

Green Peacock lives in the rainforest of the Red River Basin in Yunnan, and occasionally goes to the places closer to the water and the beach for food, play, and puppets, and often meet with human activities. In recent years, the habitat of green peacocks has been seriously threatened by the construction of hydropower stations, and the green peacock has been difficult to find in the wild. There are less than 600 existing green peacocks, less than the panda!

"What do we have to do!"

This is the original intention of Si Qing to participate in the creation of "Green Peacock -Where is My Home". She hopes to let more people understand green peacocks and understand their survival crisis through picture books. Many people do not realize the protection because they do not understand. In Yunnan, the peacock seems to be commonplace, but no matter whether it is in publicity or in the zoo, most people see blue peacocks, but the green peacocks are little known. Si Qing also planned to make several sharing meetings in Yunnan through the publishing of this book to introduce the story of green peacocks to more big friends and children.

Biologist Zhen Guder once said: "Only by understanding can there be care; only if you care, you will act." The beautiful green peacock should not only exist in people's remote memories. I hope that the long sound of "Gho -Gaho-" will always echoing in the deep valley, hoping that this beautiful and mysterious species will no longer worry about "where is my home."
