The learning of sketching accompanies the beginning of learning to draw.

No matter what form of painting art you are engaged in,

The understanding and expressive power of sketch are indispensable.

There is so much to learn from basic sketching,

Of course, the sketch seems single, boring and colorless ，

But different painters can also Have full expressive force 。

Sketch and oil painter from Korea

Zin Lim

University of the Arts, San Francisco, California,

If you want to see more, you have to go far,

I am used to seeing many Korean painters A delicate and soft sketch ，

After Lim studied in the United States It makes people feel very unrestrained and amazing!

I can't imagine the painter's own sense of quietness at all.

Lim's painting is very simple,

Almost done by a carbon pen.

And a carbon pen or carbon strip,

Make good use of the transition between its center and side forward,

Can be very good Make the desired black, white and grey detail changes.

Although the carbon pen is very effective,

But still It tests the painter's basic skills.

And for Lim who loves to express the human body

He can understand and depict every structure of the human body from the outside in,

From big to small brushstrokes,

In the frantic scrawl ，

Accurately reflects the body's body changes in every part of the muscle concave and convex feeling ，

Each of his brushstrokes has the scientific rationalization of the structural basis,

Another Emotional tension expression of personality.

Lim says: Learn to draw what you feel, not just what you see.

This is when visualizing Lim's work,

The first impression is never to question his basic skills,

Instead In his simple concise strokes,

Think of each piece as an improvisation,

Capturing the delicate, ever-changing rhythm of the model.

You could say his work is a kind of sketch,

In this kind of human sketch,

The relationship and details of black and white are so delicate.

Before he had finished drawing every muscle of the human body,

The local muscle texture has made him achieve the ultimate,

It's a bit like the feeling of a newly beginning art student digging into details.

It's not that Lim can't draw something like a photo Comprehensive sense of authenticity,

The painter's feelings for painting will be reflected in every brushstroke,

Lim's love for art began in high school,

He was deeply attracted by the world of painting,

In order to prepare for the entrance examination of art colleges,

He went crazy studying basic painting and color theory.

He was also admitted to Hongik University in Seoul as he wished,

Majored in Environmental Design.

However, the conformist format painting has made Lim feel bored.

Don't want to be traditional, but also follow it

Lim sees more art development culture in the network,

So in In 2000,

He moved to San Francisco, USA.

Fortunately, Lim successfully passed the admission to the art school,

During preparatory studies ，

He discovered his love of humanity!

Lim bluntly said that art is to observe people, interpret people through personal philosophy,

And the perfect medium for expressing aesthetics through visual information.

Instead of simply reproducing a picture,

Studying Lim at San Francisco University of the Arts is like a treasure,

In 2006, he graduated with honors

Obtained an MFA from San Francisco University of the Arts in 6 years,

And has won many top awards in the most prestigious competitions at home and abroad.

I am particularly fascinated by the fleeting moment: the moment before the thought takes shape, the gap between gesture and meaning. My work seeks to capture this tension-showing movement in stillness and clarity in ambiguity. It's not so much freezing a moment as trying to breathe with it.

Not just images,
