Features: Just like sketching portrait training, character sketching requires understanding and mastering basic human anatomy. During training, it is important to thoroughly study the structure and morphology of the bones and muscles from the front, side, and back, as well as how these structures influence the form of dressed figures. Carefully copy the diagrams of bone and muscle structures and memorize the main names, so that when sketching, you can have substance and avoid being empty. Similarly, when sketching landscapes or animals, we must also carefully observe the shapes of plants and the structural characteristics of animals. In terms of training goals, the focus should first be on improving overall proficiency. During this stage, the duration of assignments does not matter, and the emphasis should be on enhancing awareness and understanding. Sufficient time should be allowed for thinking, exploration, and research. Some methods and steps can be practiced repeatedly, or specific issues can be targeted. For example, in sketching, during the stage of in-depth rendering, the focus is on the portrayal of facial features and further understanding of anatomy. As long as it benefits the improvement of professional skills, each sketching assignment can be "incomplete," and the time limit can also be unrestricted.
