Lessons From the Repin Acad., Vol. 2 (Patreon)

In this lesson (2/3) you will learn the following:

• The Art of Composition: We're going to explore how to organize your drawing so that it doesn't just look good, but also tells a meaningful story. It's like creating a visual narrative through the arrangement of elements in your work.
• Commanding Attention Through Focal Points: One key aspect we'll focus on is how to direct people's eyes to certain areas of your artwork. This will help emphasize what you find most important or interesting, making your piece more impactful.
• Shape Language: This is an intriguing idea that suggests the shapes and lines you use can convey specific emotions or themes. It's like adding a subtle, secondary layer of storytelling that reinforces what you're trying to express. Spoiler alert, it doesn't just apply to shapes- it goes for everything in the drawing.
• Creative Manipulation: We'll discuss how you can and should adjust what you see—be it in a photograph or in real life—to better fit the story or mood you're aiming to create with your art. It's about not just replicating but enhancing.
