I wanted to learn comics, but I didn t learn sketching

Sketching: refers to the painting method that uses monochrome or simple color tools to depict the outline, volume, structure, space, light, texture and other basic modeling elements of an object.

Sketches come from the West and belong to European painting. The sketches we can see today were developed from prints of early German folk woodcuts. This kind of folk painting, which was popular in Germany in the early years, is similar to the Chinese painting circle – at first it was only a few prints of religious subjects from folk workshops, and then it was widely circulated among the people - but it did not exist as an independent form of artistic expression at that time.

It was not until the Renaissance in the 15th century that people discovered its unique expressive charm. During this period, Italian painters such as Massaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and others invented and applied the principles of perspective, anatomy and composition, which provided a scientific basis for the three-dimensional and spatial sense of sketching, and gradually perfected the sketch. Since then, drawing has been unique in the European painting world as a near-perfect form of painting.

Although on the surface, the basic expressive techniques of Chinese and Western painting are inseparable from the use of lines, there is an essential difference between the two. As we all know, white drawing is the foundation of Chinese painting, which emphasizes the interest of lines, focuses on image modeling, and is less affected by changing factors such as light and time. The lines in Chinese painting not only draw on and absorb the brushwork skills of calligraphy art, but also are based on the charm and expression of interest in the artistic expression.

Among the dazzling expressive techniques, line is still the most common and basic means of artistic expression in Chinese painting.

In contrast, Western painting focuses more on figuration and realism. Sketching is the basis of Western painting. Painting with the help of specific objects, environments, light and shadows is the basic requirement of sketch life.

Therefore, sketching is more influenced by external factors such as objective objects, environment, light, time, etc. Lines, on the other hand, are often seen as a means of constructing shapes, and do not have independent aesthetic value. Although there are many differences between Chinese and Western paintings, it is undeniable that Western drawings and Chinese white paintings are the most simple forms of expression in painting.

We learn drawing because it is the foundation of all painting, and it can cultivate our basic observational ability, drawing ability, and aesthetic ability. When you learn how to shape a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane, your ability to see and reproduce things is significantly improved. When you are able to express and communicate in the vocabulary of sketching, you will find it easier than ever to learn other plastic arts.

Of course, there are also certain areas of architecture.

The material used for sketching is the pencil (HB, 2B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 12B, 14B are generally used in these kinds, the brand is recommended to use Mary's, China is not very easy to use), eraser (ordinary eraser, cherry blossom brand eraser, plastic eraser), as well as a pen, ruler is not used, if you draw a comic strip or something, it is recommended to use the cherry blossom brand for the pen, thank you
