As the title says, anti-traditional sketching tutorial is an innovative painting teaching method that creatively challenges the limitations of traditional sketching techniques and expresses themes in a free and realistic way. Unlike traditional sketches, which focus on the precise and accurate expression of form, proportion, outline, etc., Anti-traditional sketches pay more attention to the atmosphere and feeling of expressing themes and emotions. Therefore, students are encouraged to use their imagination freely when sketching and are not limited to formal accuracy. Anti-traditional sketching emphasizes that artists should use their own feelings and emotions as the guide to express the subject, rather than just pursuing the accuracy of lines and geometric shapes. Recommend to more people to learn about this method.

The purpose of learning sketching is definitely not just to draw a certain apple well, but to express some of our inner aesthetic tastes and ideas through drawing. After we have completed the basic skills training of painting, we can choose to express our inner emotions in a variety of ways. Among them, sketching is one option. Because sketches are created in black and white and are not as colorful as color works, it is a very pure painting language that can express the artist's inner emotions more directly. Below are some monochrome black and white works that I usually create, which express some of my psychological state and aesthetic taste at that time.

Sketching is the basic skill of painting. Only by practicing solid sketching can you achieve perfection in painting. This book tells us how to learn sketching and what it is like to go against traditional sketching through the personal experiences of teachers Zhou Lei and Weiwei. This book contains the four basic abilities of "shape", "color", "body" and "quality", and is equipped with cases as training, which is very helpful for beginners in sketching. At the end of the article, teacher Zhou Lei shares his own learning experience for readers to learn from. The description is based on the personal experiences of the two teachers, making the readers immersed in the situation and adding fun to the learning process.

I was attracted by the title of the book, it is really well written. All thinking logic is very human-like, rather than putting the cart before the horse, and will even correct many of our own biases. Painting itself expresses feelings and depicts the world and life. I like this work based on rationality and sensibility.

This book has taught me a lot of new things and I have benefited a lot. It is full of useful information. It is not like some textbook-like works. It tells the development background, significance, and influence of sketching in a concise and easy-to-understand language. It is not boring at all.

Education is about weeding out the old and bringing forth the new. Old educational ideas such as "only focusing on the listing of knowledge points and training in cases" are no longer suitable for the current quality teaching. They have the limitation of "knowing what is happening" but "not knowing why." In order to help art students better master the basic skills of painting and understand why they should learn sketching in this way, the author uses easy-to-understand and vivid language to summarize the entire basic skills of sketching into the four basic abilities of "shape, color and constitution", which is a must-see for art students.

This book is really great! It is not as boring as other sketching tutorials. Teachers Zhou Lei and Weiwei use personal experience to explain sketching, which makes people feel very immersed. Moreover, the basic sketching techniques are classified into the four basic abilities of "shape, color and constitution", which is easy to understand and learn😀 I especially hate those complicated drawing steps. The drawing steps in this book are clear and easy to understand, and are very friendly to beginners like me~ In short, it is highly recommended!
