    Hi Uncomfortable,

    Thanks for your critique, and yes I did see my perception of drawing ellipses in perspective change towards the end of the challenge which was enjoyable!

    Hi Uncomfortable,

    Thanks for your reply and corrections. I'll have a reread of the texture section in the light of what you say here.

    Hi Ricemipotatoes,

    ok so MY understanding is that overshooting or missing the point is expected at the beginning and you improve it overtime (but less than a 100 years).

    I didn't have the issue of touching the paper while ghosting and I don't recall any mention of it on the website. I remember seeing a Proko video on "line quality" where he says you can put one of your finger a bit forward so that it touches the paper before the pen nib and prevents this issue. I do something similar with my auricular which slides on the paper before I make the mark. I don't know if this is Drawabox approved though ????

    Hi DIO thanks a lot for your very detailed feedback, i have a lot to work on! Thanks for your explanations as well as on cast shadows, i understand that i misunderstood the concept a little

    I have a question about « mistakes » -sometimes i draw confidently something which looks « wrong », often biggen than I’d like, and I am tempted to draw inside - that‘s the case with the ant antenna.

    Would you advise to still go with the „wrong“ shape? Or to redo the drawing?

    Hi Rob,

    thanks a lot for your critique, I feel this is encouraging and it reminds me of how to work with the lines (from the shoulder!).

    have a good day

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.
