    So I took a break in the middle of doing the revisions and kind of stop drawing altogether during a few months. I got back to DAB and did a long warmup by doing a bit of every exercise of Lesson 1 and then I went back to finishing those revisions (I took my time this time around).

    I attached what I did.

    Thanks!

    After your feedback I started working on redoing the rough and organic perspectives but then life happened and I stopped drawing altogether. Would you recommend to redo the whole lesson 1 or continue where I left off?

    Thank you for your critique!

    I admit that the rough perspective and especially the organic perspective almost broke me which caused me to not apply myself as I should have. I'll do them again and reupload.

Framed Ink

Framed Ink

I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.

Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.

Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.

Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.
