Sketching is a kind of painting method that quickly captures and represents the image of objects, which requires the use of simple lines and brushstrokes to express the form, structure and demeanor of objects in a relatively short period of time. Sketching can not only improve our observation and expressiveness, but also help us accumulate creative materials and inspiration. Below we will start from two aspects: sketching skills and methods**.
1. Sketching skills.
1.Methods of observation.
Sketching requires us to quickly capture the features and demeanor of an object in a short period of time, so the method of observation is crucial. First of all, we need to pay attention to the overall view, that is, to focus on the overall structure and form, rather than paying too much attention to the details. Secondly, we should be good at grasping the characteristics and demeanor of the object, and express it with concise lines and brushstrokes. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in angle and light in order to better express the three-dimensional sense and texture of the object.
2.Use of lines.
Lines are the basic form of sketching, so their use is very important. In sketching, we should pay attention to the smoothness and accuracy of the lines, and avoid choppy and crooked lines. At the same time, according to the shape and structure of the object, different lines should be used to express the texture and three-dimensional sense of the object. For example, when representing smooth, hard objects, use straight, stiff lines;When expressing soft, moist objects, use soft, natural lines.
3.Trade-offs and generalizations.
Sketching requires us to show the form and structure of an object in a short period of time, so it is necessary to make trade-offs and generalizations about the object. In sketching, we don't need to be as comprehensive as sketches, but should make trade-offs and generalizations according to the characteristics and demeanor of the objects. Through the simplification, deformation and exaggeration of objects, the form and inner spirit of objects are expressed.
4.Expressiveness and rhythm.
Sketching requires concise and clear expression, but it also needs to be expressive and rhythmic. In sketching, we should be good at using different lines, brushstrokes and colors to express the form, structure and demeanor of objects, so as to make the picture more vivid and vivid. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the rhythm of the picture, and create a sense of hierarchy and space through the density and thickness of the lines and the warmth and coldness of the colors.
Second, the method of sketching.
1.Tracing method.
Tracing is one of the basic ways to learn sketching. By copying excellent sketches, we can learn how to deal with lines, strokes and shapes by masters, so as to improve our sketching skills. In the process of copying, we should pay attention to how the masters grasp the characteristics and demeanor of the objects, and how to use lines to express the texture and three-dimensional sense of the objects. At the same time, we can also try to compare our own sketches with those of the masters, find out our own shortcomings and improve them.
2.Sketches of physical objects.
Sketching is a way of sketching objects that are presented directly on paper. Through physical sketching, we can observe and understand the structure and form of objects more deeply, so as to better express them. In the sketch of the object, we should pay attention to choosing the right angle and light in order to better express the characteristics and demeanor of the object. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the control of time to avoid affecting the overall effect of the picture due to too long time.
3.**Sketch.
With the development of science and technology, ** has become an indispensable part of our lives. Through sketching, we can record the bits and pieces of life more conveniently. In the **sketching, we should pay attention to choosing the right **, so as to better represent the shape and demeanor of the object. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the appropriate treatment of **, such as adjusting brightness, contrast and cropping, etc., in order to better highlight the characteristics and shape of the object.
4.Free sketching.
Freelance sketching is a more free-form way of sketching, which is not limited by time and place, and can be created anytime, anywhere. In freelance sketching, we should pay attention to cultivating our imagination and creativity.
