Features: Sketching is a process of integrating eye and hand. Through this training, one gradually develops visual sensitivity, intuitive perception and discrimination of form, expression, and rhythm, thereby cultivating correct observation methods and acquiring corresponding expressive techniques. Therefore, sketching is the foundation of plastic arts. As a fundamental training, sketching has been included in the basic courses of plastic arts. Although there are commonalities in artistic principles among different disciplines in terms of sketching instruction, there are significant differences in function and purpose, leading to diverse teaching methods and styles in practical teaching across various fields. Sketching portraits are both the foundational exercises of sketching and an independent art category—portraiture. For beginners, learning sketching portraits can help cultivate their sketching skills and develop good observation habits. This book follows the teaching principles of simplicity to complexity, from shallow to deep, and gradual progression, serving as a reference for art students and enthusiasts to accurately and successfully draw sketching portraits.
