Sketch skill

Dynamic sketch technology is a symbol of the maturity of the painter. The dynamic sketch of human body not only requires the painter to have high modeling ability and overall awareness, but also requires the painter to have keen sensory ability and skilled experience in using anatomical knowledge. But it can't be said that the study of dynamic sketch should be put after the completion of basic training. On the contrary, dynamic sketch training should be carried out at the same time as basic sketch training.

The method of figure sketch is the combination of small head sketch and dynamic figure sketch. It would be better if you had the opportunity to portray a character in depth.

If it is difficult to sketch the image of a character in a floating crowd, it is necessary to use memory and dictation, or to comprehensively show the characters with the same image, the same clothing and the same identity and sketch them into characters.

2. Dynamic and static sketches

Dynamic sketch is very different from static sketch. In the ever-changing object, it is impossible to capture the object through repeated observation, and it is impossible to express the object through a method prepared in advance. Dynamic sketch relies on the dynamic "choice" in the process of object action change and the feeling and memory of the selected action.

"Selection" is a unique technology of dynamic sketch. Selection refers to the painter's specific choice of the instantaneous action of a moving object, that is, the sketcher chooses the most meaningful instantaneous dynamic from a series of actions of the object in the face of free-moving objects and characters.

The selection of dynamic sketch action should meet two conditions. First, the selected action should be "modeled"; The other is that the dynamic should have aesthetic feeling, and both conditions are indispensable.

For example, when we choose a person's running action, we should choose the dynamic that best reflects speed, strength and flexibility, that is, the dynamic with the largest leg span and the largest arm swing. If you choose the dynamics when your hands and feet overlap, the painting effect will be like walking instead of running.

It is also important to feel and remember the selected dynamic, which is a one-time process, unlike sketching, which can be repeated many times. This one-time memory must be acceptable. If receptive memory is lost, the drawn action may become formulaic and conceptual.

Only by relying on the particularity of the feeling of specific movements, supplemented by the knowledge of human anatomy, can we draw works such as running wildly or leisurely, and avoid similarities.

In practice, it is inconceivable to complete a concrete dynamic sketch only through instantaneous observation. We must rely on the general experience and relevant knowledge of this specific action to supplement our memory in order to complete the work completely. To achieve the above requirements in dynamic sketch training, we must learn to "grasp" and express "dynamic lines".

Dynamic line is the main line to express action characteristics in human body. The dynamic line is generally manifested in the large volume change relationship of human motion. When the figure is on the side, the dynamic line is often reflected on one side of the outer contour; When the figure is in front, the dynamic lines will highlight the changes of the spine and limbs. For drawing dynamic sketch, it is very important to grasp dynamic lines.

Extended data

It is of course necessary to study sketch and study hard, but the correct learning method can get twice the result with half the effort, that is, we must choose a good sketch template to read and copy.

Of course, you don't have to doubt the master's things, they must be good things, but the master's works have strong personality and style, and some of them may not be easy to accept. At this time, you can ask experienced teachers to recommend the works of some domestic masters and some excellent painters, and if you have the conditions, you can listen to the teachers to analyze and explain their works, which will be more beneficial.

Such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, holbein, Rubens, Hua Tuo, Angel, Delacroix, Degas, Menser, Lie Bin, Xie Luofu and Schiller. The works of these masters are more suitable for students to learn and copy. As the saying goes, "If you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you can recite them even if you can't write them". Of course, the works of outstanding domestic painters can also be copied and watched.
