hi, i recently followed and i love your art. i like how (ar least the recent things you posted recently) are pretty simplified and pack a punch visually
and i wondered if you use/have learned any particular techniques for compositions? i've tried studying how rule of thirds/golden triangles/whatever the hell apply to compositions i like, but i didn't learn from it in a way i could reliably use
Thanks! When it comes to composition, the main things I think about are bias and how to lead the eye.
Our brains like bias in images. Something that splits the canvas 70/30 is more visually interesting than something that splits it 50/50. That's why we often aim to divide the canvas into big, medium, and small shapes, and why those shapes look better when there's significant difference/bias in their sizes. The image on the left below has more contrast between the size of its shapes, and so feels more visually interesting than the one on the right:
When it comes to leading the eye, it tends to move along lines/edges, and it tends to move towards the points where lines converge and intersect. You can use this to guide the viewer's eye through your piece to your focal point. For the same reason, having too many lines pointing in random, unrelated directions, can make the piece feel disorganized and unclear.
For example, you can see how much clearer the location of the focal point is in the upper composition here than it is in the bottom one:
It's true that the upper one is pretty unsubtle, but you gotta know how to make it work unsubtly in order to make it work subtly because the subtle stuff is just the unsubtle stuff in disguise.
I'd also recommend keeping catalogues (folders on your computer, powerpoint presentations, however you like to store images) of art that you like so that you can use them for reference, inspiration, and studies. I keep a composition catalogue and a color catalogue among others.
Sidenote, Edgar Payne's book, Composition of Outdoor Painting, is a great resource for learning about composition:
Hope this helps!
I’m not going too hard on artfight this year, I’ll probably only do a couple unprovoked attacks, but I will revenge anyone who attacks me!

My morally complicated woman. Is she trying to be a good person? Yes. Is she succeeding? Probably not.
Everything bad she does is fully and 100% her fault and she is fully cognizant of that. She very quickly became numb to the guilt, because it's just easier not to think about. She is disgustingly self-aware.
Her children are both severely dysfunctional to the point they would probably both be institutionalized if it weren't for Circumstances, and this is at least 35% her fault. (55% their dad's fault, 5% their granddad's fault, and 5% society's fault) She feels bad about this in theory but also gives like zero shits about them in practice, because she didn't really even want to have children in the first place.
She's so, like. Purposefully strips herself of her humanity for the sake of power while also paradoxically trying to use said ill-gotten power in a way that is morally good and beneficial to her fellow People, from whom she has separated herself. She is a politician, basically.
Guards! Put the blond man in spandex in situations!
Ahah you thought it was gonna be a silly introduction? Well me and @sam-i-am-27 (who's writing a fic about it!) have been coocking some more loree. (PREV) I'll be drawing more scenes here on my blog.
I’m doing art fight! Whooooooo
My ArtFight is up and ready to go! I might add a few more characters (Ravio, Amera. . .) but my favorites are on here for now!!

New edit!!! I heard this audio on tiktok and i thought it really fit falst

A little dose of toxic lesbian fairies for your friday morning😈
updating my designs of my left brain right brain characters for artfight!!
Thats reagan and leah i hold them very close to my heart
I think i have posted them here before but in case you wanna know more about them:
Yes they ARE inspired by the Bo Burnham song
Their names are in fact right and left, i just took the initals actually
They are also based on the creative vs logical side of the brain, even though that's not really a true statement of how it works
They get along well because your brain DOES use both sides to work properly but sometimes they have sibling-like disagreements because they're stupid
For everyone that's here for utdr content I do have a comic idea coming up!! So stay tuned :)
yaos cake: a phm comic
this was definitely set in a universe where they had the Time to have shenanigans
