Features: Based on a certain amount of sketching practice, rethinking the problem of sketching will lead to a new understanding of the concept of sketching itself. In fact, the concept of sketching refers to a simple and clear way of expressing painting language, but its essential connotation goes far beyond its concept. In other words, the essence of learning sketching is not just a problem of sketching, but an artistic problem. Therefore, when we are learning sketching, we cannot simply view it as a technical issue, but should grasp the laws of artistic coexistence through the gradual mastery of sketching techniques, such as observation methods, proportion relationships, structural combinations, perspective principles, and so on. This enables the eyes, heart, and hands to synchronously express the true feelings derived from objective objects, and to shape the objects into a concise and powerful artistic reality within the complex forms, making it more compelling. Thus, we strengthen training in several aspects:
First, in observational ability, we emphasize holism, avoiding, and paying attention to the connections between parts within the overall relationship; second, in comparative ability, we focus on experiencing the differences and connections between various shapes in objective objects, capturing the characteristics of the objects; third, in combination awareness, we not only excel at handling the combination relationships of individual objects but also master the combination relationships between shapes in the composition, making the sketching language more forceful; fourth, in self-perceptive ability, we are not constrained by the subject but actively express the object, perceiving and understanding it to depict internal feelings in a detailed and dynamic way. We must respect objective objects while setting the composition as an eternal spiritual tendency, allowing the intersection of intuitive perception and understanding to align with intentional flow. Only in this way can we truly grasp the connotation of sketching.
