>composition>a good rule to follow for composition is making whatever you need to keep the viewer's eyes on my painting for as long as I can and not on your painting on their painting so i'll manipulate light, angles, the stare (someone looking directly at you), anything I can do to keep you looking at my painting, all other fundies and techniques are to control the viewers eyes Is he right?
>>7408498I dunno, is he?
>>7408498Yeah, comp is king. All other fundies are just due diligence, comp is the stuff that makes or breaks.

>>7408567his polished shiny head is high contrast which leads the eye towards it, its hard to not pay attention when the glare from it hits the corner of ur eye
>>7408498Yes, just look at the way you cropped your image, absolute cinema
>>7408498Composition is king, you can make a mediocre drawing look interesting just with composition alone and you can completely ruin a very well executed drawing/painting with poor composition
>>7408518>>7408750How do i into composition anons?
>>7408769framed ink bookstudying compositions from old or current art that you like, avoid photos some things work for painting but a lot of things in photos dont translate well into painting due to how you need to simplify/reinterpret everything to paint it. the most glaring examples are touching tangents being ok in photos but quite bad in painting and much worse in drawing when it comes to depth perceptiondoing thumbnails until it looks good to you, if that happens then you're on the right path and its up to your drawing skill and reference use to scale that into a finished piecethis is paraphrasing painters throughout history up to today's
>>7408518I know you just learned composition, but, please.
>>7408518Who taught you this? Some random tiktok? Stop parroting random opinions, /beg/ anon.
>>7408498>just make glorified youtube thumbnails, broWhy even bother if you hate art and self-expression this much?
>>7408912>ugh thumbnails>ugh perspective >ugh gesture lines>ugh Loomis heads>ugh drawing
>>7408518>>7408750Yup.>>7408769Ultimately, you need to develop a sensibility to beauty. There are many ways to get there. Studying pieces giving you a "wow" effect is a good starting point.
>>7408779>>7408871lol, cope.Thank god there isn't a composition schizo in this board, just imagine the dumb discussions between armatures and the golden mean.
