Features: Sketching is the foundation of plastic arts, and the basic content of the national fine arts college entrance examination is to assess candidates' rigorous (plasticity ability) and keen artistic perception. Portraiture of plaster figures is an important part of the fine arts college entrance examination. Unlike long-term or medium-term sketching, the content and form of the current fine arts college entrance examination require candidates to integrate and demonstrate their understanding, perception, skills, and experience in the best possible state within the specified three-hour examination time. Most of the excellent pre-examination three-hour training works of students from fine arts high schools are included in this book's outstanding sample illustrations, making it an ideal reference and learning material for fine arts college candidates. The plaster figure portraiture examination uses natural light, which lacks the strong light and shadow contrast under artificial lighting. Therefore, controlling the grayscale and highlights in the painting during training is extremely crucial. It is appropriate to slightly reduce the texture of the plaster while emphasizing the thick and solid sense of volume. Do not be misled by the scattered reflections in the dark areas under natural light conditions. Control the overall rhythm of black, white, and gray to avoid the problem of an average and messy grayscale, and enhance it with contrast. Plaster figures have many details, especially in the hair and beard areas. It is necessary to boldly summarize and refine them, otherwise, it will not be possible to complete them within the three-hour time limit.
