Features: Sketching portraits are one of the essential subjects in the entrance exams of higher art colleges. The examination time is usually 2.5-3 hours. Candidates must master the form, structure, and value relationships of figures, understand the artistic expression techniques of sketching, and apply certain examination strategies and skills to perform confidently in the exam. Based on years of practical experience in teaching basic art, the author has compiled this book, providing candidates with intuitive sketching steps and learning and copying samples. It is hoped that this book will help candidates quickly grasp the techniques and examination skills of sketching portraits, achieving good results. The book offers multiple sketching portrait samples for candidates, but copying itself is not the goal. Candidates should not merely imitate the surface effects of the works but should, during the copying process, learn the artist's techniques in handling the composition, understand the artist's perception and feelings toward the subject, and integrate these techniques and feelings into their own artistic practice. Only in this way can candidates continuously improve their painting skills through the learning process.
