What are the similarities and differences between character creation and portrait creation in sculpture creation?

Characterization refers to the carving of unknown and well-known figures. It is original for unknown or imaginary characters. The so-called creation is your own imagination, not learning from others' faces or imitating the shape of objects. Portrait creation includes self-portrait sculptures of famous people, most of which are created by famous people or great historical figures. "Portrait" has different understandings from different angles. Portrait (or photography) in the artistic sense refers to an ornamental modeling work that makes the image of the portrait owner reappear under the material carrier through artistic means such as painting and photography.

1. Portrait is an artistic expression of the appearance of a natural person.

Usually, when we judge whether the external image of a character constitutes a portrait, we should look at it in combination with its shape and position.

First of all, characters should have portrait characteristics. First, its manifestation is to reflect the image of a specific citizen through photography; Second, the portrait must also reflect the main characteristics of a specific citizen, such as posture, appearance, expression, etc. Third, the portrait must be true and controversial, and celebrities can know whose portrait it is at a glance.

Secondly, it must be the fact of a concrete portrait of a citizen. In the picture, the citizen portrait should occupy a prominent position in the whole image and be represented as a specific object, not as a foil; At the same time, the purpose is not to achieve the goal through the use of portraits.

2. Portrait has the property of things.

Portrait is an artistic representation, which should be fixed on a specific material carrier (such as photographic paper, TV screen, newspapers and magazines, etc.). ) specifically and independently. It is an objective visual image derived from and independent of the portrait owner, which can be dominated, controlled and disposed of by people and has certain property interests. The price of a painting is related to the author, technology and materials.
