The sketches that Cheng Shan presented were just as good as the original finished paintings in terms of style and spirit.
Although the lines in the draft were messy and the shadows were smudged in several places.
Yet, it still cannot conceal the liveliness that shines through the painting.
Some fellow art school fans rushed to comment first.
[I had been keeping a wait-and-see attitude, but Cheng Shan's draft was convincing enough.]
[My Shanshan is indeed the most talented and gifted painter!]
[Hilarious! An artist once asked for two million for this painting! Some people are just desperate for money, envious!]
Cheng Shan's draft paper was yellowed and dusty, while the girl's was brand new, like it was drawn yesterday! Even a fool could see the difference!
While the fans were overjoyed, a bigwig in the art world also posted on Weibo.
[The sketches are brilliant; a painter needs this kind of untainted, worldly inspiration.]
This statement can be seen as a tacit affirmation of the authenticity of Cheng Shan's draft drawing.
Cheng Shan discovered that the art world guru she had admired in school had actually posted a Weibo comment on her sketches for the first time ever.
For a moment, Cheng Shan was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
I am overjoyed that the mountain I once looked up to has finally intersected with me, and that I have even gained its recognition.
Then, feeling annoyed and jealous, he thought, "In the end, I stole this painting."
Every word of praise from the expert was an affirmation of the roommate's talent and drawing skills.
Cheng Shan's heart ached as if it were being soaked in lemon juice. She read the big shot's words over and over again, but her confidence finally crumbled for a moment.
She thought for a moment, her eyes slightly reddening, and sent a private message to this big shot.
[Cheng Shan: Hello teacher, thank you for speaking up for me on Weibo.]
[Expert comment: I'm not trying to help you; I'm just giving an objective critique of the draft.]
Cheng Shan broke down again, her fingers trembling slightly as she pressed the keyboard.
She didn't want to admit that she was worse than her roommate!
We cannot admit it!
Cheng Shan gritted her teeth, and in a moment of impulsiveness, took a picture of her graduation project and sent it to the big shot.
[Cheng Shan: Teacher, what do you think of this painting I did at the same time?]
The big shot seemed to be busy, and it took a full five minutes before he responded.
Cheng Shan opened her private message with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, only to be met with a barrage of accusations.
[Big Boss: You painted this too?! What happened to you? Has your talent been worn away since you entered the entertainment industry?]
Look at your painting! It's stiff and lifeless, the brushstrokes are stagnant, it's completely devoid of spirit!
It didn't even express one-tenth of the original emotion in the painting!
Looking at the heart-wrenching words sent by the big shot, Cheng Shan felt as if she had been hit hard on the head.
Cheng Shan looked at it twice in disbelief and almost dropped her phone!
What exactly makes her paintings inferior to her roommate's?!
Why is it that from the very beginning of my career, everyone is praising other people's paintings?!
Cheng Shan grew angrier the more she thought about it, her chest heaving, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
If you don't understand appreciation, there are plenty of other people who do!
Cheng Shan then posted the painting on her Weibo account.
Fans showered her with praise, managing to piece together Cheng Shan's shattered self-esteem a little.
[What a beautiful painting! Shanshan's natural talent hasn't been diminished at all!]
[So, are you convinced or not! When someone throws mud at you, you produce evidence and new paintings to refute them—it's like a female lead's script!]
[It's so beautiful! Keep it up, Shanshan! You'll be a top star and a genius painter in the future!]
[Shanshan is making continuous progress, and I want to learn from her hard work!]
Xia Chuyue kept refreshing the Weibo updates.
She was momentarily surprised to see that Cheng Shan had sent another painting.
Although Xia Chuyue was an amateur, she was able to tell at a glance that this must be Cheng Shan's true skill level!
The painting is mediocre, completely lacking any sense of unrestrained vitality.
Xia Chuyue didn't understand why Cheng Shan had posted her paintings out of the blue.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Compared to my roommate's paintings, the difference in skill level is simply too obvious!
Sure enough, not only Xia Chuyue, but also several of Cheng Shan's artist fans, as well as some painters in the industry, were speechless at this picture.
[What is this? It's nothing like the previous painting!]
[Has Cheng Shan been cursed? Has her drawing skill deteriorated that much?]
[The entertainment industry is indeed a dazzling place; the contrast between Cheng Shan's two photos is too obvious!]
Cheng Shan's roommate, who was originally preparing to retaliate, almost burst out laughing when she saw this picture.
Sure enough, even God was on her side!
With this comparison, she released evidence and got her paintings back with incredible ease!
While Cheng Shan's comment section was buzzing with noise and people were arguing about the newly released picture, her roommate posted another Weibo post.
[Roommate: Even though I've been scolded so many times, I still have to say, this draft is mine too!]
When Cheng Shan's fans arrived and began to ridicule her, her roommate presented the evidence she had found.
[Roommate: My name is in the picture.]
She decisively circled a part of the picture, enlarged it, and posted it on her Weibo.
Cheng Shan's fans naturally didn't believe it and were the first to rush over, launching a frenzy of attacks and insults against their roommate in the comments section.
However, some netizens and fans who still had a sense of reason looked at the draft for a while and were surprised to find that the other person's name was actually hidden in the drawing!
Chu Li.
A simple name in pinyin.
