Features: Sketching is the foundation of all plastic arts. It is one of the main entrance examination subjects for art majors in art colleges. Sketching involves expressing two-dimensional or three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional plane. In terms of form, there are sketches with light and shadow tones, sketches that depict the structure of forms, and sketches that use lines to represent objects. These methods of expression mainly depend on personal understanding and recognition. Through learning, one can find a suitable way of expression and then master it. This textbook explains the basic principles and concepts of sketching, accompanied by step-by-step illustrations, in a concise and clear manner. It starts with the most basic (stone geometric solids) and still life, progresses to (stone life drawing), and then moves on to portrait and half-body with hands life drawing. It also includes exercises in sketching, creative sketching, and black-and-white painting to help examinees improve their sketching skills. The textbook features a collection of student works and numerous examples of works by renowned domestic and international masters, providing excellent learning and reference materials for beginners to quickly enhance their sketching skills and theoretical knowledge. Additionally, it offers targeted critiques of examinees' high-examination papers and includes past examination questions from various art colleges across the country for reference. Thus, this book serves as an invaluable supplementary textbook for examinees preparing for their pre-examination training.
