Features: Sketching plays a unique role and has become an indispensable basic skill in the learning process of various disciplines in art and design. Sketching reflects the artist's creative power and is a form of expression that combines strong emotional perception with proficient artistic technique. The lack of sketching training has become a significant weakness, leading to rough craftsmanship, mediocre aesthetic taste, and a loss of genuine artistic commitment among students in art and design schools. There are many reasons to abandon sketching, but anyone engaged in art and design who wishes to create freely will inevitably persist in sketching. Sketching accompanies every moment of art and design activities, nourishing them. Art and design schools should fully value sketching instruction; they should make sketching an expression, a way of thinking, and an observation method—a unique ability—for students. The significance of sketching should be fully realized in students' growth. This book provides guidance and advice for learning the skill of design sketching and allows readers to practice it with enjoyment. The steps and methods for expressing design sketching are developed from simple and easy-to-understand rules and illustrated with engaging examples. Additionally, it introduces sketching techniques and expressive methods within different professional fields, showcasing the effects of each painting through rich examples.
