The target audience for this series is art design college entrance exam candidates who have undergone three years of high school training. It aims to provide students with a relatively intuitive, comprehensive, and high-quality sketch preparation resource, helping them improve their professional performance and skills in a shorter time, pass various university professional exams, and continue their studies at higher education institutions. As the foundation of plastic arts—sketching, it has always been an indispensable exam component in the admission process of art colleges. Starting from high school, whether or not students join an art class, every student aspiring to enter an art institution must undergo three years of fundamental training to confidently face the sketching exam. This book objectively and thoroughly elaborates on and analyzes the basic theories, essential elements of sketching, the proportions, perspective, and shaping methods of plaster sculptures and human portraits, as well as the psychological qualities candidates should develop for exam preparation and the evaluation of exam papers. The book also conducts in-depth research on how to perform under exam conditions, how to approach thematic creative tasks for different majors, how to establish sketching creative concepts, how to use various expressive techniques to shape forms, and how to master the anatomical and structural composition of the head. The book is accompanied by a large number of outstanding domestic and international sketches in different styles and schools to enhance candidates' artistic cultivation and appreciation skills. It is rich in illustrations and highly readable, making it also suitable for reference by sketching enthusiasts.
