Features: Sketching is a type of plastic art and falls under the category of painting, generally referring to monochrome painting. Sketching not only trains basic abilities but also cultivates a scientific and artistic observation method and thinking ability. From the perspective of purpose and function, sketching can be divided into two major categories: creative sketching and study sketching. Creative sketching belongs to the realm of artistic creation, including works created solely in the form of sketching and drafts for other painting styles. Study sketching falls under the category of drawing from life. In study sketching, some exercises are conducted to improve abilities and techniques, while others are for collecting materials through drawing. As their purposes differ, the requirements also vary. The plaster geometric solids practiced in this book are designed to enhance the ability to generalize shapes and serve as a preliminary sketching exercise for comprehensive shaping abilities.
