Features: An engaging book that not only aims for novelty in concept and richness in content but also features a well-balanced, illustrated design. An excessive or insufficient number of illustrations can affect readers' emotions. To facilitate easy reference, illustrations are included alongside relevant text. To enhance practicality and ease of use, the book provides not only essential theoretical explanations but also a wealth of exercises for specific practice, aiding both teaching and self-study. Students can choose topics based on their interests, while the teacher's role is to inspire imagination and improve expressive skills. At the same time, the author of this book does not wish it to be merely a superficial practical guide. Careful readers will find many new perspectives from the author in this book. The discipline of sketching has very distinct characteristics. The author does not intend to elevate sketching's status in people's minds, but the fact remains that it is indeed so. The contribution of sketching to the development of art lies in: it is not just a tool for collecting materials, nor merely a means of practicing basic skills, but rather it proposes concepts that have sparked numerous revolutions in visual art and produced many great works. It is particularly important to note that the discipline of sketching has no limitations—it can permeate all fields of visual art. Not only is sketching itself an art, but all other visual-related shaping arts find it difficult to detach from its relationship.
