Chapter 525 Drawing on Paper for the First Time

Just now, Si Ye was listening to her carefully, but he did not give up the task she gave him.

The originally hard ore has been ground into a very fine and smooth powder, which is very good from the perspective of craftsmanship.

However, these mineral powders still need to be processed before they can be actually used.

In the next few days, Si Ye seemed to be possessed. He squatted in a corner and thought about something absent-mindedly. Sometimes he would take a small branch broken off from the firewood and draw directly on the ground, and sometimes he would mutter to himself.

Xia Tian found this neurotic look funny, but she didn't bother him. Instead, she focused all her energy on the paint.

Although dry-ground pigments look finer, they still need to be ground again with water to reach the level that can be used for writing and painting.

This step is to make the mineral particles finer and the color more uniform.

This step does not require much strength, but requires more patience.

According to the minerals collected so far, a total of four colors have been obtained: black, red, green and blue, which are also the four colors that are easier to find in nature.

It just so happens that the paper I made a few days ago can now be used.

She put each mineral powder in a small stone dish, added water and slowly ground it, gradually forming a relatively viscous liquid, which could be used directly.

Spreading out the drawing paper and pressing it down with a stone as a paperweight, Xia Tian first wrote her name on it in black using carbon powder.

The blending degree and thickness are just right, which is perfect for writing or painting.

Her grape-like eyes rolled around twice, and she picked up the pen and carefully sketched smooth lines on the paper...

[This paper can actually be written on?! I wonder if it was borrowed from a museum, hahaha]

[Xia Xia's calligraphy is so beautiful! But this drawing... Hey, why does it look like a person?]

[The previous one is hilarious. This thing with a nose and eyes, what else could it be but a person? And it looks so familiar...]

[Wait, isn't that Lao Si?! I've never seen anyone else with those ears.]

On the rough paper, as the lines drawn by Xia Tian became denser and denser, a half-body handsome young man appeared on the paper.

After outlining the general figure, she cleaned the brush, dipped it in turquoise paint, and dotted it on the boy's eyes.

In an instant, the characters in the painting are given soul.

Anyone who sees this will say, if this isn't Si Ye, then who else could it be?

At this time, Si Ye was just about to prepare dinner for today. He passed by Xia Tian and with his good eyesight, he saw the handsome boy in the painting at a glance.

At the same time... he recognized himself almost immediately.

He stood there, as if it didn't matter what he said or what he didn't say, he just stared blankly at the picture on the paper.

Xia Tian noticed that the other person was standing next to her and was staring at her graffiti. Her face immediately turned red and she hurriedly covered the paper with her hands. "You...you...why are you here?"

However, after asking, she regretted it.

Why is he here?

This cave is someone else's territory. It's freezing outside. Where else can he go if he's not here?!

Si Ye probably noticed it himself and coughed awkwardly, "I...I'll go prepare dinner."

After saying this, he lifted the animal skin curtain at the door and suddenly stood still.
