Features: In traditional Chinese painting, the status and role of line drawing are. The "Bone Method of Using Brush" in Xie He's Six Methods refers to the skeleton-like function of lines in a painting. Lines not only shape forms but also carry a certain emotional tone. Lines are lifeless in themselves; it is through people infusing emotions into them that they appear so vibrant. Lines are simple in nature, but it is through people using them to express emotions and ideas that they seem so mysterious. Lines are both traditional and modern. They have form but are also formless; curves, straight lines, squares, and circles are all about perception. Lines in painting are inherently abstracted by people. Without understanding this, it is difficult to find lines in real life. However, on the canvas, lines are concrete. "A slight error can lead to a great deviation." Lines contain emotion; when moved, they become lively. Lines hold meaning; when guided, they become free. For many years, I have studied the painting of court ladies, and I deeply feel that training in shaping ability and accumulating materials are crucial. A significant portion of the shaping materials in this art book comes from the television screen, which is the traditional observation and sketching method "eye recognition and memorization." Although it is a scene sketch, the beautiful shapes and expressions are fleeting. Although it is a quick sketch, it actually benefits from memorization. Practice has proven that sketching is one of the effective methods for improving shaping ability.
