Features: The sketch of a plaster face is an intermediate step between sketching still life and sketching plaster portraits, serving as the preparatory stage for plaster portrait drawing. Compared to plaster portraits, the difficulty of sketching a plaster face is relatively lower. Because the plaster face is comparatively more localized, with fewer elements to depict, it primarily focuses on the study of the face and facial features. Therefore, the spatial handling is also relatively simpler, with minimal depth variations. When practicing the sketch of a plaster face, the emphasis should be placed on analyzing and studying the anatomical structure of the face, including facial muscles, bones, and the modeling of facial features. Thus, it is important to focus on learning anatomical knowledge. In the learning process, one should understand the shapes and positions of facial muscles and bones, grasp the external morphological characteristics formed by muscles and bones, and accurately shape the facial form based on the structure and morphology of muscles and bones. This lays a foundation for further practice in sketching plaster portraits. This book introduces the techniques of sketching a plaster face in concise text, providing readers with a reference for learning.
