Copying should start with standardized and rigorous works, and avoid being glib, so as not to develop bad habits. We might as well draw nutrition from Chinese painting, learn how to use lines in line drawing and modeling collocation, and experience the linear change of thickness straightness and the rhythm control of density and reality. After copying for a period of time, we should try to sketch, combine copying with sketching, and copy with problems, which will be more targeted and effective.

Start with the structure

"What we feel, we can't understand immediately, only what we understand can be felt more deeply." Character sketch requires accurate structure and proportion, which is based on the understanding of body structure.

Therefore, sketch should first enable students to master the necessary knowledge of artistic anatomy, understand the basic structure of characters, and understand the growth law and movement law of human bones and muscles. We can teach some art anatomy knowledge with the help of art anatomy books and human skeleton models, and we can also carry out targeted sketch and anatomy training.

Line-based

Line is the main form of sketch. Lines are general and direct, which can effectively avoid the interference of pigments and light and shade and grasp the essence of objects. Character sketch training requires students to learn how to use the length, thickness, straightness, elasticity, fluency and density of lines to express specific characters, so that the picture can produce a lot of visual beauty. The ingenious combination of line features and physical structure is an important condition for vivid sketch.

In sketch training, attention should be paid to the interpenetrating relationship between lines, the "structural line" should be accurate, special attention should be paid to the turning and twisting relationship of joint parts, and the drawing should be realistic and close to the skin. The "clothing grain line" should reflect the internal structure and pay attention to the contrast of density.

The combination of speed and speed

Write slowly is a transitional link between sketch and sketch. Write slowly's painting method is basically the same as sketching, but the difference is that write slowly's painting method is more direct, which can ignore the dignity and light and shadow of the object and directly outline the body with lines, which has certain sketching characteristics.

It takes a long time to write slowly, usually half an hour to an hour. There is a process and time for deliberation, which is convenient for research and can solve specific problems encountered in sketching. Sketch training can alternate with write slowly training.

Breakthrough item by item

Sketch at ordinary times and practice hand close-ups in the blank space of the picture. For clothes pleats, you can sketch the elbows and knees first, train the ability to refine and express clothes pleats, and then practice the clothes pleats of the bust and the whole body. Scenes can be improved by landscape sketch, still life sketch, scene sketch me and combined training of different individual situations. Dictation can be combined with usual sketch training. After the sketch, students are required to write the sketch content immediately to deepen their understanding and train their memory.
