Behind every piece of breathtakingly beautiful jade lies the countless sweat of the jade carver. Every polishing and every cutting must be carefully considered. If one step is wrong, there is no turning back. Therefore, the drawings of jade carving are particularly important. The following drawings can reflect the profound skills of jade carving masters! The draft drawing is just the beginning. What subject matter is suitable for each piece of jade and how to tailor it becomes an important criterion for judging an excellent jade carver. Often those masters can turn an unremarkable piece of stone into something magical, and the draft drawing plays an indispensable role! Jade is the most artistic of all gems, and it can create a distant feeling with just a few strokes! Friends who are particularly knowledgeable about jade carving may say: No matter how beautiful the drawing is, and how much artistic conception it has, the final product will be very different. Actually, it is not entirely true. This has a lot to do with the quality of the jade. The jade that is extremely old is also very charming even if it is carved with a few simple strokes. The poor quality of jade will not have any substantial changes even if it is designed well. At most, it will only add a little charm! When carving jade, jade carvers are actually doing a subtraction problem. Unlike sculpture, jade carving is about subtracting pieces of stone to achieve the desired effect. So it is not the case that once you finish drawing the draft you are done with it once and for all. If there is any mark that is worn off you have to fill it up again and again, which really tests one's patience.
