Sketching

1. Improve Observation Skills

Sketching requires careful observation of the shape, structure, proportion, light, shadow, and details of the subject. Through continuous practice, it trains the eye to capture the true form of things and subtle differences, which greatly benefits both drawing and everyday observation skills.

2. Master Basic Modeling Skills

Sketching is the foundation of painting. By practicing lines, structure, perspective, and light and shade, one can build solid modeling skills, laying a strong foundation for learning watercolor, oil painting, sculpture, and other art forms later.

3. Understand Light, Shadow, and Space

Sketching emphasizes the relationship between light and shadow. By using light and dark tones, it conveys the volume and spatial sense of objects. Learning sketching helps better understand light sources, forms, and space, making drawings more realistic.

4. Develop Expressive Ability

Sketching is not just about copying shapes; it is also a form of expression. Variations in line weight, density, and stroke can convey emotion, texture, and atmosphere.

5. Enhance Creativity and Aesthetic Sense

Long-term sketching practice enhances sensitivity to shapes, proportions, composition, and beauty, while also stimulating creativity, providing more possibilities for artistic creation.
