Matters needing attention in sketch

1, position selection and painting posture

Correct sketch posture is helpful to the overall observation and the application of expression methods. When painting, the body should be about one arm away from the drawing board. If possible, you'd better put the drawing board on an easel. If there is no easel, the drawing board can also be placed on the thigh. An easel is usually placed in front of the painter.

The best distance between the painter and the sketch object is usually between 3 times and 5 times the height or width of the object. Good habits help to improve painting skills.

2. Holding the pen

The method of holding a pen in painting is different from that in writing. The usual method of holding a pen is to hold the pencil with thumb, forefinger and middle finger, and the little finger is supported on the drawing board as a fulcrum, and the line is drawn by the movement of the wrist. Only when describing the details will you hold the pen as usual, but you can still move your wrist with the fulcrum of your little finger.

3. Cultivate scientific thinking methods

The mastery and application of modeling rules is the process of cultivating correct thinking methods. In the process of sketch training, learners' thinking ability to solve various relationships should be fully reflected, such as correctly grasping the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity, sensibility and rationality, whole and part.
