Which is more worth learning, sketch or Chinese painting?

You can do both. You can position yourself and specialize in western painting or Chinese painting in the future.

Don't blindly follow the trend. Someone told you that learning western painting is more promising, so you just listened and learned western painting blindly. Some people say that learning Chinese painting is more promising, so they just listen and learn Chinese painting. Learning to draw depends on your own nature, diligence, talent, understanding, persistence and learning spirit, rather than learning Chinese painting or western painting.

If you study oil painting, it is really easier to find a job than Chinese painting. For example, a professional teacher in the art college entrance examination training class needs a teacher with strong painting skills, but if the painting skills are poor, it is difficult to find a job.

Matters needing attention in learning to draw

In my humble opinion, it is very important to learn painting and be interested in it. It is very important for beginners to lay a foundation in painting. No matter learning Chinese painting or sketching, we should start from the most basic basic skills, and learn the basic skills of Chinese painting, starting from copying the mustard garden.

Learn the basic skills of sketch, starting with the most basic geometric sketch, practice composition, perspective, structure, modeling, light and shade, and learn to draw. If you like western painting, such as oil painting, you must learn to sketch first. Sketching is the basic skill of western painting. Without sketching skills, your future oil painting, printmaking and sculpture creation will be difficult.
