From the blank to the work, the first step of stone mountain carving is inseparable from the artist's conception, and the conception is inseparable from the determination of the baseline and reference point, which complement each other. Only rich ideas can make the work trend and reach maturity. This is the key for every sculptor to carve a successful work.

Some stone original shapes are often very natural, as if the description of a certain phenomenon has been hidden in it, as long as you have rich practical experience in carving, you can arouse your imagination, set the baseline according to nature, and there may be good results. composition.

Benchmark: It is the main part of the work, and it is the place where the theme is prominent, outstanding, key and characteristic. Now after the reference line is set, to carry out the composition and modeling, the first thing to do is to determine the "reference point" and start digging from the reference point.

For example, to carve a figure, you need to use the head of the figure, flowers as the main flower, plants such as sorghum heads, rice heads, and the number one fruit of millet, mountains and rivers as the main peak or big tree, and animals as the very upright end (or group). The head of a character is the main feature of expressing thoughts, language, theme, and dynamics of a work, and it is also the standard for measuring the proportions of various parts of the human body. Therefore, the benchmark of a character is the head. If it is a group portrait, there is always a middle character who expresses the theme, the so-called protagonist, and it should be carved from the head of the protagonist.
