I’m OBSESSED with composition! It’s SO underrated! I’ve read 6 good books on composition, and I fell in love. Now, when I walk through a gallery or museum, and I either critique or learn from their use of composition. Composition is the “special sauce” that makes your painting or photograph compelling.
I think it depends on the overall feelings of the piece as well, for my simple rules to keep in mind are Feels => Shapes=> Value from Big, medium, and small.
I wanted to emphasize this. I'm still merely a young artist at 15, about to be 16. What I've learned throughout the practices and studies is that if you digest too much information, be it anatomy or color, that stomach won't process it any better and will throw it out, making it useless. Instead, to gradually learn one at a time. Do you suck at shapes? Focus on it, make a small palette for your meal, and eat it slowly. Go digest it, the knowledge will be remembered and used properly and at the highest sufficiency. That's just me, tho.
Such a great fantastic video! I always learn something new from this channel. At 1:53 I am confused for the bottom image. The 1:3 and 2:3 ratio. Is it based on values or just general amount of pixels? Because if it is only pixels, it feels more like 40/60 ratio. I am really bad at math, so I apologize if I am missing something. I assume it's sky vs land right? Thanks!
The I:3 ratio and the 2:3 ratio is mostly used in landscapes. You literally have to show more of the lands or the sky depending on the I deal behind your concept. So let's say I want to paint a seashore with lots of boats and people having fun. I would literally show 2:3 of the lands and tge sea cos that's where my focal point is supposed to be and I'll show a 1:3 of the sky since I really don't have much to show there. Hope you grab now
Are you saying the weight of the image comes from darks tones being heavier verses the lighter tones having a lighter weight? Not sure what you meant. I always thought that composition has a lot o do with the linear motion of where the eye is coaxed whether lighter or darker in color, such as the branches, clouds or mountains. It is a difficult subject to break down into rules as I believe they all interact and effect one another. Thanks for the video.
Hi thanks for this can you do a video just on how to start doing thumb nails. Every time I start, my brain begins to over complicate things. Is this normal for beginners? Thanks
just make em, a thumbnail should be a quick test, not something you spend a ton of time on. make a crappy thumbnail. if it looks bad, then make another where you try to improve things. you should be working on drawing 100 bad thumbnails, not 1 perfect one. try focusing on just one aspect of composition for each one.
I hope it's not too late for me to ask this, but are these rules better applied in the process of creating/thumbnailing the piece or before? Do we use this to check our work or plan our work is what I'm concerned with?
not sure how you can get any more "before" than thumbnailing, which should be the first thing you do, and is basically a rough draft for the pieces composition. ideally you should think of all this stuff at the very beginning, because the further you get, the harder it is to change. doing thumbnails allows you to quickly check if a composition is working.
@@ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvaw4ehr I have a very spontaneous work flow. Setting things up before I draw is like creating a nice environment for me to use the toilet; it doesn’t make sense. Especially considering forcing it will also make a mess in my case
What I got from weight is that it's more about spreading out your detail evenly on the canvas. If one side has one big thing distinct in its section, give the other side something big and distinct too. Of course there's always exceptions, bit that what I got from his explanation atleast
For a deeper dive into these techniques and many more, start learning on artwod.com!
Anytime i think i got a good grasp of “good composition” there’s always new things i can apply.
That's the beauty of art! :)
@@Artwod definitely
The Beauty of Life! 😊
Every time I think I got a grasp on Composition I do anther painting and realize there is still more to learn

The contrast in soft and hard shapes really makes it leap out. great tip
Thanks! Glad you find it useful :)
Had not heard of the balance idea where a large shape crosses the center line. Very helpful

I finally found you from Proko, seeing that you dont have a million subs is criminal
Thank you for those kind words! :)
Environment round building things straight. Excellent
When learning too much at once you start hating your love for drawing

Great lesson, thank you! Saving this and subbed!
Dude, this was wonderful info!
Great video. Very clear and great pace. Thank you

Thank you. Learnt a lot 👍
That was very helpful, thank you.
Thanks, it helped a lot!
Love the new studio dud!!!!!
Thank you Misha! ❤
Very good video 😊
Great video, thanks
what you meant by visual weight balance is the balance of each placement in 2d ,right?
Thank You 💝👍🏼
thanks😀

Big THANKS. Learn much
the framerate on ur camera makes u look like a stop motion figure LMAO
Something wrong with your computer
nice
Is this video stuttering for anyone else as well? I can't tell if it's the video or just my computer. Either way, thanks for the tips!
no it's not stuttering
Composition is the probably the one last thing that's making me afraid of starting a painting
Not sure i understand weight's
What I got from weight is that it's more about spreading out your detail evenly on the canvas. If one side has one big thing distinct in its section, give the other side something big and distinct too. Of course there's always exceptions, bit that what I got from his explanation atleast
👍🏼
whats with the awful framerate?
Just Keep : Key message or Point of view or
Approach >> is enough. For me ratio is bullshit...!! We just need over all unforgettable perception 🤣

How to make 6 minutes feel like a thousand years. Well done. Pointless video.
