In this episode, we go over the theoretical side of composition. Learning to observe the importance of focal interest and focal rest in an image is key to mastering compositions.

Be sure to check out the link in the description to my online Abstract Design Theory class coming up later this year. These classes don't detract from the free youtube content, but they do offer a fun chance to do a bunch of exercises and more targeted stuff with a group of other people. It's a good time.

Great breakdown on Composition! Am definitely interested in your ideas on balancing all of the principals of design. If value is 90/10, how does that play into texture balance rhythm etc. If value is 1/3, 1/3, 1/3... how does that play into texture balance rhythm etc. (ignoring color for simplicity) How does one go about Harmonizing all the elements of design with each other? A single line almost begins the unfolding of the relationships. Its like a chess game. It can unfold an infinite number of ways, but the first few moves, really dictate how the game will feel. I imagine the first 5 major positional moves in a deliberate painting have the same effect, which suggests there are a lot of cascading requirements as the painting unfolds.

@demolisherinfinite8606 10 ай бұрын

@@tosteson1 Personally, some of my top picks are Sinix, Sycra, Proko, Winged Canvas, Marc Brunet, Howard Whimhurst and Alan Becker, although the last two focus more on animation than illustration. These are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head though, there's plenty more people with valuable teachings out there.

@cornsalsa2300 10 ай бұрын

This video was so helpful! Thank You Sinix :) I've tried to study composition in the past, but it was always so confusing. I've always heard to not put a focal point in the middle of the picture and things like that, but I never could understand why. I never saw anyone so straightforward and simply explain really how composition works and why it's needed until this video. Thank You for all your videos, I just recently discovered them, and have over the past month become so much more confident in my art because of your channel :)

@labrabellart1380 10 ай бұрын

I've always known composition exists, and I've always tried to understand it. knowing the rule of thirds exists was about the furthest I could get, though. But this video? This video just explained composition perfectly to me. Like, everything made sense on a level I never even knew it could! I expected to just be aware of how composition works and to have to actively plan it out before I start working. I'm autistic, so that kind of thing is nothing new. It's rare I get to subconsciously understand something like that. Except, after watching this video I feel like I can imagine ideas in my head, with the composition already put into place?? It's insane, and it's not the first time you've done this. There's something about the way you explain things in your videos that just connects with my brain in a way few other artists can manage. I want you to know I've shared this video to every single art-related server I'm in because everyone needs to see this
