Drawing like a pro - 108, - Composition, deepening some concepts - (#club100)

in WORLD OF XPILAR2 years ago

Hi friends!

Before continuing to practice drawing, I think it is necessary to delve a little deeper into the subject of composition, although without trying to fall into complex topics such as the "Golden Section" or the "Fibonacci Spiral". (Coincidentally today(11/23), is World Fibonacci Day (1170 - 1240). He is considered the most important Western mathematician during the Middle Ages).
We will only see some practical applications of the "Rule of Thirds" which is a simple way to determine points of visual attraction.
The "Rule of Thirds" says that if you divide your drawing surface into thirds, both vertically and horizontally, and then place focal areas of your scene where these lines intersect (around, not exactly), your compositions will look nicer.
I show you some examples below, which can be useful to help you decide on a composition scheme.

This is a drawing paper divided into thirds.

This is a composition by mass opposition. We oppose a large mass along the left third with a small mass at the right third to get a visual balance.

This is a diagonal composition by mass opposition as well. We oppose a large mass in the right third with a small mass in the upper left third for a visual balance.

This is also a diagonal composition where the visual impact is given by a concentrated floral mass in the lower left third as opposed to these fine ones in the upper right third.

This is a composition where almost the entire drawing is concentrated in the upper horizontal third which is visually balanced with the fine vertical portion in the central third.

The following are examples of the most common ways to set up a composition.
For more information on these topics, follow the attached links with the images.

As I said in the previous lesson 107-Lesson, this is an abstract subject, therefore a bit difficult to follow. In my opinion, the best way to make it your own is by observing and practising, so that your aesthetic sense will become more and more acute over time.
Always try to find in your drawings or in the images that you look at which is the composition format that best fits.
With practice, this becomes easier and more intuitive.

I wish you a very nice day and good exercise!

And if you like to colour your drawings, I recommend the interesting and useful Color and Light classes of @fumansiu whose concepts you can apply both with traditional and digital techniques.!

Or maybe you want to make a beautiful watercolour with your drawing!
Well, our friend @arcoiris is back with his magnificent watercolour lessons.

Also, a must is the excellent drawings by @ranartblog in his very interesting and useful drawing tutorials.

You are right the best thing is observe and find what is best. Sometimes even beautiful work but looks not really right because of dis-balance or some empty areas too much in one place and less in other. Nowadays of course it does not matter but still for our eyes and mind we still want to find something that pleases our senses and not irritates. The description of composition is very good tip for newcomers, I find it very helpful.

Thank for sharing good art lesion with us. Diagonal composition is very helpful for our drawing.

Hi Jorge,
Great guide.
I like the triangle composition (pyramid), that is because I like the art of Frank Frazetta.

A very useful demonstration of the composition options.
I'll keep them for myself, thank you :)

Muy interesante esta lección sobre composición Jorge y un gran trabajo, pero tu sabes que en composición todo está abierto y, si eres creativo, lograras composiciones inéditas siempre que logres mantener una "variedad dentro de la unidad" de los elementos que componen la obra. Saludos.

Hola Juan, estoy de acuerdo contigo.
