Features: During the process of sketching instruction, we found that beginners often struggle with inaccurately drawing shapes at the beginning, which often affects their interest in painting and makes them feel increasingly tedious. To address these issues, we began to try training based on establishing the contour lines of shapes. After students engage in this interest-based practice, they then proceed to life drawing, and the results generally show improvement. For beginners in art, the key lies in cultivating interest and building confidence. This book provides very detailed explanations of painting steps, and we hope these efforts will be beneficial for beginners' entry and progress.
