Features: Since the Italian Renaissance, sketching has been regarded as the fundamental practice and preparatory work for all plastic arts. Like a camera recording the history of art development, the preserved precious sketches and manuscripts document the wisdom and efforts of countless artists throughout history in their arduous artistic journey. They also provide us with rich material evidence to understand their thoughts and learn from their experiences. This book attempts to deeply analyze and reveal the truth of details and the essence of plastic arts. Fully grasping and mastering them is of great significance for improving our sketching skills and artistic creation. Details interpret the charm of art; the lack of details indicates a lack of ability. However, please do not forget—unity is supreme. Even the most brilliant details cannot achieve true artistic works without the harmony of the whole.
