Features: As the saying goes in military strategy, "It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten." This means it is more effective to launch a decisive blow than to engage in protracted, exhausting battles. Painting is the same—rather than vaguely drawing this and that without mastering anything, it is better to focus, study meticulously, summarize the rules, and master one piece, thereby applying that knowledge to others. This is the original intention behind compiling this book, "Painting Portraits in Three Hours." Through detailed analysis and sketches of a portrait from multiple angles, this book helps students gain a deeper understanding of the subject and rapidly improve their modeling skills in the "repetition" of practice. The portraits selected in this book are the most frequently used ones in teaching and exams. We will analyze them one by one, summarize the key points, simplify the complex, and grasp the essence to facilitate learning for, especially for those who are about to take the art college entrance exam, which makes it particularly valuable for direct reference.
