Features: This issue is divided into 5 volumes by theme, plus one volume titled "Exam Techniques." Each volume selects a collection of outstanding works that have emerged in recent years in the fields of sketch learning and creation (excellent works from the first three issues are not included in this issue). They primarily come from the works of students and core teaching staff of various art colleges, with some contributions from renowned artists. Almost every piece of work is accompanied by insightful comments from the artists themselves or experts. Additionally, each volume features selected articles by college teachers, introducing methods of sketch learning and research, as well as the principles of artistic language. Through this visual and textual learning experience, readers can gain many valuable ideas and inspirations. To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the works in the book, as much information as possible is provided for each piece, including the materials used, specifications, and other relevant details. However, materials such as pencils, charcoal sticks, and sketch paper, which are conventional and not specially mentioned by the contributors, are not elaborated upon here. Please note this. We hope everyone continues to love sketching and the "Sketch Learning" series. In closing, let us be inspired by the words of the renowned painter Yang Feiyun: "A person who dedicates their life to painting should always maintain a state of deep fascination and passionate love for sketching."
