Features: Sketching belongs to the category of drawing, referring to the act of accurately depicting the characteristics of objects within a short period using a simple and concise technique. The English word "SKETCH" means sketch, outline, or quick drawing, which indicates the inherent connection between drawing and sketching in terms of their freedom, spontaneity, and liveliness. Drawing and sketching are the foundation of plastic arts. First, they are a training in painting concepts and observation methods, aimed at developing the coordination of the eye, brain, and hand, learning to observe the world with an artistic perspective, and ultimately achieving artistic expression. As a specific form of drawing, sketching is more direct in capturing objective images, more efficient in recording feelings and collecting creative materials, and has therefore been highly valued by artists. At the same time, as an artistic creation, sketching itself is also an independent art form.
