In (sculpture sketching), the first thing to determine is the composition, paying attention to the completeness of the image. The second is the form, which should be expressed with a three-dimensional spatial awareness, enhancing the sense of depth by paying attention to the differences in distance. Objects closer to the viewer should be depicted more fully and analyzed more specifically, while distant objects should be appropriately generalized and simplified. The third is the changes in light and shadow. The light and shadow of nearby objects should have strong contrasts and rich layers, while the light and shadow contrasts of distant objects should be correspondingly reduced. The last is the determination of the visual center of the image, which often has a strong subjective element and can usually be set based on the author's particular focus on the object. The visual center is the part of the image with the most visual impact, requiring strong light and shadow contrasts, rich layers, and detailed, specific rendering. Compared to this, the other parts should be generalized and expressed in order based on the strength of the form's transitions. In this way, the relationships between the main and secondary, as well as the clear and blurred aspects of the image, become clear.
