Features: Ink sketching can easily lead to a focus on pure techniques, where the mind is always tied to the formulas of ancient masters. Especially after a period of copying, it can become a heavy burden, requiring a process of digestion.

More precisely, the techniques of the ancients were designed for the subjects they intended to portray.
