Just the force of a circle is inward and the force of a pentagon is outward Im dying to understand. Like it makes sense because straight lines look good but why is the force direction of any significance? Thank you for this amazing video.
I have a hard time thinking about specific elements to fill up the spaces, mostly with defined values. For example, something to act in place of a dark streak in the background, or things that can't be dark because it's in a clear part of the illustration. How do I come up with interesting props, objects and real shapes?
cool video but Ive noticed that you keep downplaying yourself too much. "Im not good at this..." "Im not good at that". Technical skill can always be practiced and your being too self conscious about it. Dont worry and be more confident.
Saying “I’m not good at this-” is not, in and of itself, a way to downplay oneself. It’s an acknowledgement of shortcomings and areas open for improvement. It doesn’t sound -to me- like this artist is not confident. On the contrary, this humility gives more credibility to their teachings, to me.
I feel like this point depends on how long you've been drawing and how old you are, it's natural for artists that have been drawing for a while (and want to improve more) to reflect on their art with a more critical eye. Like if a person who just started drawing is being really harsh on themselves, I don't think that will help them. But if it's a person who's been drawing for years and wants to learn more things, I don't think they're being overly harsh :]
No, it's fine. His shapes are a lot better compared to all of his other fundamentals. His taking about what's he's best about. Which is a lot more important.
AI voice. This is likely translated from a language that demands a person denigrate themselves to prove their humility, like Japanese. Btw, nothing wrong with AI voice when it's clearly creative work. .
Hello everyone! There’s an Anime called “Blue period “ It’s an anime that focuses on art. I learned composition,fundamentals,focus and construction on that anime. It also focuses on ideas and the pain of an artist Searching those words make this appear on my algorithm ❤
The anime is lovely and I 100% recommend the manga as well which is still continuing on currently for anyone who wishes to see more of the series. It’s an incredible series, which hits me right into the heart as an artist with its unique niche that gives insight on the perspective of many artists just trying to get by with what they love- both experienced artists who’ve drawn their whole lives to new artists who just only recently picked up a pencil- there’s a character to relate to for everyone! The series has genuinely changed my life and is the reason why I found the courage in myself to get into art school. 10/10 series!
As someone who studied graphic design, I’m incredibly impressed with how well you managed to explain these concepts in such a concise way! I never truly thought of combining graphic design with illustration in this way, and now it seems so obvious. Thanks man, wonderful job.
@@sarahtachibana1333 Not everyone has UA-cam-ready voices. Speech impediments, accents, ESL, lack of funds for great mics can be a huge detriment to how-to videos.
it kinda put me off at first too, but I understand why. not everyone can put their own voice in, and people intake information better with a verbal presentation. it's AI being used as a tool, rather than like, being used to generate mindless slop content
These same people deserve representation in our every day yt videos. I wish there were all caliber of speech impediments being represented. My bf stutters, and nit only do I have vocal and physical tics but I USED to have an INTENSE lisp. I changed it because I was embarrassed that no one I knew spoke like me. And I will give the benefit of the doubt some folks don't like to be the change we need to see. But other formats exist on this same platform for this reason. Many ai voices aren't created with permission. Sir David attenborough himself is thoroughly disturbed by ai that uses his voice, and a company is currently being sued for using Scarlett Johansson's voice for ai w.o permission.
nothing beats a good refresher on composition ive been using these methods for quite a while in my work but it helps to be reminded what the actual techniques are that im using
i've never seen all these principles summarized so clearly and concisely! thank you! (also, you sound just like alhaitham from genshin impact so this was extra fun)
I have something to confess. This methodical, practical, and logical approach to learning and drawing art has made drawing very boring for me. If it's all a matter of knowledge, practice, experience, and applying fundamentals, the whole magic that came from uncertainty has simply vanished. Now my creative drive has been reduced to logic patterns and pursuing whatever I find more pleasing, which is really not enough for me to keep going. edit: Needless to say, I found this approach very successful and have made insane gains this year, which is why I'm talking about it.
Quit learning for a bit and just use ur current skills to enjoy art, art is complex and personal and at its very core your art is yours to create so make what you want. Sure for somethings it is good to have technical skills but if it's just for fun then do whatever. Even if u are studying for school you still should do some personal art
@@nyeloliver1008 Thanks, I am really trying to shift my mindset more towards the part of drawing you're describing. However I found that to get a satisfactory result in drawing something I first need to study it, and it is very hard to break out of that loop of needing to obtain knowledge to play around with concepts and ideas that personally interest me.
Once you create something that truly blows you away you'll be glad you learned the fundamentals. Believe me the frustration of not being able to depict something massively, colossally outweighs the sometimes tedious process of creating art
Sitting down and reading or watching videos to get better can be a bit boring and time consuming, but once you have the learning down, you can experiment as much as you want without having to do all that. Just as everyone says, you have to learn the rules before you can effectively break them.
You did a really good job explaining composition! You can establish importance through line, shape, color, lighting, shading, size, etc. It all depends on what you want to emphasize.
your videos never make me disapointed, they alway make me want to pick up my pencil and practice more. Lately i've been losing interest in drawing, i don't have any ideas to draw but when i watched this video it inspired me a lot. Thank you so much, this is a masterpiece
Thank you for making such a detailed video! So many artists just say "break it down into shapes" and "just reference it". Showing such step by step processes and how they compare to without these processes really helps with understanding the various aspects.
Ive always wondered why japanese artist draw so much straight lines in their artworks and how they're so pro at making lines especially straight ones. CSI really helped!
I really love your tutorials! I really struggled with why my illustrations doesnt pop when I put so much details but I learned by your tutorials how to make it pop and attractive! Thankyou so much, you are a life saver!💗
Gestalt theory is not just a philosophy but a physical and mathematical research by the way. Which applies real world and human psychology at a solid level.
Very nice!!!! You explain things well and it seems you have learned quite a lot :] getting a handle on composition is always very satisfying, you should be proud of yourself
You just opened my mind, your mastery over composition elevates your artstyle so well that it really ties it all together, i didnt know I needed this so bad and I thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I've spent years watching drawing tutorials on YT but I never learned so much from a video like I have from this one. You're a true hero
this reminded me of how much i love philosophy. Explaining the theory of art rather than simply saying what should and shouldnt be done. Very good art and Video sir (☆^ー^☆)
Im not wondering why the rule of thirds is so freaking important.. I see all these pretty drawing have a relation with the golden composition rule idk😅
CSI.... How funny, that they all show their fundamantel shapes! CSI enhances the composition of my artwork. I need to ignore the smaller details, and simplify! Ignore me, just taking down notes to remember :)
This is a masterclass but explained so clearly with great examples, which is impressive enough, but to manage it when English isn't your first language takes it to a whole new level. I'll be coming back to this again and again - THANK YOU!
Sincerely thank you, I'm not very familiar with English but I managed to extract a lot from what you managed to show, and I wanted to know what the names of the songs used in the video were, I liked very much
I absolutely agree! Composition is more important than rendering skills and I think you explained it very well, especially the many subjects that make up composition. But note that tangents need to be avoided as well. If we look at your artwork with the lady at the pond with the flowers and mushrooms, the mushrooms on the bottom right create a tangent as they do not break the silhouette, but are rather almost touching the edge of it. Thus these are not as legible. If you made the mushrooms bigger/taller, they would have created a more interesting and more legible silhouette.
Amazing and useful information! I’m gonna be totally honest, it has never occurred to me that CSI lines were meant to be complementary to each other, when I was first taught CSI a long time ago I just assumed that it was the teacher telling me what lines I’ll be using for every drawing; nothing beyond that lol Thanks again for this! I feel way more confident in my art now!!
Are you Krenz's student a lot of what you teach seems to come from krenz. But unfortunately i cant understand chinese so I cant understand chinese I can only observe his teaching. It is fortunate to see your content here.
This is the most informative and concise video on composition that I have ever seen. I have never learned so much from an art tutorial video on youtube. And I have watched a LOT of them. Instantly subscribed!
Watch the part 2: ua-cam.com/video/nVEDWXkLnwU/v-deo.htmlsi=3y61dtFMjqkXV8jk
My question is how do I know what principles and elements is to much or not enough. Is there some magic formula for different types of art styles?
Are you influenced by the art nouveau style? I'm seeing some hints Alphonse Mucha in your illustrations.
Just the force of a circle is inward and the force of a pentagon is outward Im dying to understand. Like it makes sense because straight lines look good but why is the force direction of any significance? Thank you for this amazing video.
Amazing video, I just wish I could find more of this information! Do you have any additional resources? :o

You summarized the entire Krenz’s 24 hours course into less than 10 min. I approve of this!

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yea

Finally, someone who teaches art more than things like "how to draw eyes the same size" "how to make realistic hair" etc
I clicked thinking it was going to be music composition. Ended up watching a professional essay on illustration. I have no regrets.
Hi vegtam:)
lol! Welcome to the drawing side of YT 😂
such useful information explained in an easy-to-understand format that keeps the viewer engaged. thank you for creating it!

Wow, I've been studying art for a long time and your CSI summary is the best I've seen!
You're getting me pumped up to draw!
2:01 This thing is so true. Drawing strong, confident lines looks way better than tracing because it's more stable and has a sense of direction.
"If you want to show everything, you show nothing" is such a raw quote I love it
Thanks, this is a great video. I'm in a much more fundamental stage than this, but it's nice to put this in my mind. Great stuff
You have just simplified my 4 years of art university infromations in one video with more practical examples . 🖒
Thanks a lot💗🙌
I really loved this video :3 very educational

One of the best explanations and tips about composition I´ve heard!
I think this is one of the first simple videos that actually helped me understand composition
Wonderful video aside from the AI voice. Very practical and useful insights tho.
Why does the voice sound AI generated?
Maybe because it is maybe he doesn’t feel comfortable showing his voice and it’s not very important for the voice. The matter is the lesson.
You did a really good job explaining composition! You can establish importance through line, shape, color, lighting, shading, size, etc. It all depends on what you want to emphasize.
Definitely one of the best explanations on this I've come across!
7:45 is there a name for this type of art? its so beautiful!
Art Nouveau!
I always struggle to understand how composition works and how to apply it in my artwork, and I found this video really helpful! Thank you! 😭

I would like to ask if do you do art critic?
Yes, if you join the discord through Patreon.
I now know why my drawing looks bad
Shape thinking skills❤
Anyway, your vids are always so useful, honestly thank you
Gestalt theory is not just a philosophy but a physical and mathematical research by the way. Which applies real world and human psychology at a solid level.
I wish my college lectures were like this. Thank you so much for this video!!
Not to offend, but why the AI voice? i'm sorry but i just can't focus on the video because of how jarringly unnatural it sounds 😅
same its really bothersome to me
Very nice!!!! You explain things well and it seems you have learned quite a lot :] getting a handle on composition is always very satisfying, you should be proud of yourself
8:25 I feel my mind open
im not the type of person to say these types of things but wtf??? why is the power of composition so strong???? thanks for this video its very helpful
Thank you for this condensed outline on composition :) it’s one of my weaker areas, and you gave me a good frame of reference for future study.
There’s something so uplifting and encouraging about your videos.
Thank you for your uploads!
I did not realize straight lines had that much impact on a flower. Pretty cool.
You just opened my mind, your mastery over composition elevates your artstyle so well that it really ties it all together, i didnt know I needed this so bad and I thank you!
I was getting heavy Alphonse Mucha vibe looking at the thumbnail you really captured the charm of his composition well ~
tysm! this video was incredibly helpful! your guides are so in depth and so easy to understand thank you so much!
What an amazing and straight forward breakdown of composition!! Thank you so much!!!!
This is it. This is the secret sauce UA-cam has been hiding from me. Subbed and sharing ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I've spent years watching drawing tutorials on YT but I never learned so much from a video like I have from this one. You're a true hero
Such a helpful video. It’s motivating, thank you very much.
Your theory is very good and important!
you literally worth for subs from ur explanation!
“When looking at a painting, it’s easy to get distracted by elements such as details or colors.” Was this video composed and read by an ai?
No, the speaker is text-to-speech, but the art and editing is by a human; English may not be their main language.
@@rogueObscura Thanks! Yeah after I posted this I figured it was just a non-English speaker. And I could definitely tell the art was human-made!!
This is a great video! I have been wanting to learn composition for a while and this video is perfect :)

Great tips thank you
Thankyou for posting! This helps :D

Thank you for the tutorial. Composition is by far the part that I struggle with the most.
wich programm do you use? i don't recognize it
Uhmm...... interesting 🤔......and you got a new subscriber 😅
In this video you have content for almost 10 videos. I love it

我有一個疑問，我上過Krez的繪畫過程
我認為分享知識的這個行為本質是好的，
但是就我看來，該影片引用了大量其他繪師的課程內容，卻沒有在影片當中或是資訊欄中標註該繪師Krenz的名稱(也許是我沒注意？不過不管怎樣這都太不明顯了)
以表明此內容的來源
可能誤導人們認為這是"您"的原創內容，這可能不太妥當🤔🤔🤔
希望您將以註明資料來源，以維護原創者的權益 謝謝
我也上過K大的課程，我學到很多，也很尊重他。我的第一個視頻是分享在他課上學到的知識，我有注明，同時頻道主頁也有推薦他的頻道。但是這一個視頻，我在表述上加上了足夠多自己的理解。您說“原創”的這部分，我不認爲有觀衆會以爲是我的原創，即使是K大也不會說課程的内容是他原創，我在其他的課程和書籍看過非常多次相似的内容。例如K大課程裏圖形層級的解釋的方式和例子和ua-cam.com/video/6IojuePYIHo/v-deo.htmlsi=puxdhmRHmN0L5Z1U這個視頻幾乎一樣，當然還有許多的例子。我不是說K大抄襲，而是這些是非常基礎的原理，K大有名氣，看到類似的内容不可避免先會聯想到他。
