Features: "Sketch" is a term that emerged in modern times with the introduction of Western painting to China. The English word "sketch" means outline, draft, or spontaneous drawing. "Sketch" refers both to capturing highly expressive instantaneous images and to seeking highly summarized and concise expressive forms that complement the former. In summary, sketching is a form of painting art that briefly depicts the main features of an object's form, movement, and demeanor using concise lines in a short time based on instantaneous images. This book primarily teaches some basic principles and training methods of sketching. However, drawing sketches is not just about understanding these principles and methods to create good sketches. We only provide a crutch; to go further, one must study diligently and practice frequently. Sketching will share a long journey with an artist's artistic practice, and sketching is the necessary path to becoming an artist.
