Features: Character head sketching is an important part of the fundamental training in painting, an indispensable component of the entire training process, and plays a connecting role in systematic sketching teaching. On one hand, it requires the flexible application of the basic principles and techniques learned from training in new courses, further studying and completing the training of character portraits. On the other hand, through character head sketching training, a solid foundation is laid for transitioning to half-body, full-body, and human figure sketching, ensuring a smooth completion of the entire systematic sketching training process and laying a solid foundation for future creative artistic paths. The subject of character head sketching is a real person in real life, with vivid images, dynamic changes, rich expressions, and diverse personalities. Compared to the uniform texture of plaster figures, the texture and color of its various parts are also diverse, which provides great possibilities for us to depict lifelike visual images but also increases the difficulty for beginners. To draw good character head sketches, there is still much new knowledge for us to learn, understand, and study. This book introduces the methods of sketching real human portraits in simple text, providing reference for readers.
