Features: Most of the selected works in this book are sketches by European classical masters, aiming to illustrate that the principles of sketching and shaping are derived from the generational efforts of European classical masters, not from the East. If students find these masterpieces strange, then it is just as strange to them as they find us. A European "college entrance exam student" who is passionate about realistic rendering techniques would certainly go to art museums to copy the works of these masters, learning methods from them. On the other hand, a group of Chinese college entrance exam students cannot visit museums and are forced to repeatedly study the works of Chinese masters as standards. This outcome will only lead to an increasing detachment and misunderstanding of the works of classical masters, and further stray from the right path. Therefore, students must learn to adopt the observation methods of European classical masters to depict the relationships between objects, so they can distinguish between quality and inferiority, and effectively promote their own progress.
