What are still life sketch and picture sketch?

Sketch is a kind of beautiful sketch, which generally refers to all monochromatic paintings (note: not paintings with pencils as painting tools), and originated from the cultivation of western modeling ability. In a narrow sense, it refers to the painting training process used to learn art skills, explore modeling rules and cultivate professional habits. Sketch is a basic and important art form.

Still life, a Chinese word, is an artistic expression, which refers to still painting or photographing objects, such as fruits, flowers, utensils and so on. From Records of Five Emperors, Dead Water and Mr. Wen Yiduo's Desk.

Picture refers to the plane media composed of graphics, images, etc. There are many formats of pictures, but they can be roughly divided into two categories: bitmap and vector graphics. Formats such as BMP and JPG are bitmap graphics, while formats such as SWF, CDR and AI are vector graphics.

Sketch refers to the sketch of scenery, objects and elements from nature. Outdoor sketching can also be done in the studio, but sketching is different from still life. In still life, even an inanimate object will still show its natural state. Sketching and other exercises, such as life painting, painting from antiques or actors and apartments, are often part of the artist's classroom exercises. Sketch works can be used not only as works of art, but also as notes or research for further painting in the studio.
