Features: The purpose of sketching is to cultivate the artist's correct observation methods and scientific analytical approach, gradually mastering the laws of form, and ultimately achieving artistic perfection in representing objects. "Know not only the 'what,' but also the 'why.'" Painting based on an understanding of the subject is the key to sketching, especially for plaster bust sketching. Only by mastering the correct methods of observation, analysis, and thinking, and thoroughly understanding the plaster bust to be sketched, can one represent the plaster bust more scientifically and artistically. Based on this, this series of books approaches the subject from different perspectives, progressively analyzing the plaster bust through cross-sectional analysis, bone point analysis, and analysis of the light-dark, among other methods, and combines detailed interpretations of facial features, hair, and beards. This fundamentally addresses the important issues students often encounter in sketching learning and helps them gradually grasp the general principles of sketching form, ultimately achieving the goal of applying knowledge to different contexts.
