Hey Tyler I'm a pretty new subscriber and I just want you to know how much your videos are helping me figure out this whole art thing I'm trying to do. All throughout highschool and into college Ive drawn and painted and Im pretty good, at least that's what they told me haha. But I always had a source, like a picture I would regurgitate onto a canvas. And while I was good at recreating, I never really figured out how to create new, unseen things. I have SOOOOO many ideas, and I could not figure out how to make them a reality. I got a tablet and Photoshop, but when I sat down to make something, there was nothing. But just watching these videos has helped me so much. References, thumbnails, shapes and lighting- all of the things I thought I knew at one point- I'm learning like I have never heard them before. If I wasn't a broke college student and starving artist wannabe, I would throw all of my money your way. Your lessons, your class, your artwork- all of it. I know this is long, and maybe a little dramatic, but I just have that rush you get when you create something really frickin cool that you had no idea you could create until someone(hint: it's you) showed you that you can. So thank you, so much, from one of your newest fans.
This was amazing!!! I was having a hard time understanding other videos but this video summaries the information in a really understandable and easy way!! Not to mention all of the art was simply INCREDIBLE!! and your voice!! So soothing! Thank you for posting!!
Thanks for the video, it was quite helpful in my case. Here's another tip, the highest point of contrast is usually where the viewers eye will go to first.
Very informative. I’m new to the broader world of drawing and illustration. I’ve been drawing for years, but videos like these are helping me move past simple character sketches.
Really cool video Tyler that was helpful as all always! I was wondering if these tips also apply to character designs. If no or if there are some more tips you have I would really like to see a video about that :D
I'm both surprised and yet not to find a lack of Golden Ratio. I mean it's a great compositional tool but probably not one most people gravitate to automatically.
Great video! I'm always trying to work my composition workflow and I found the tips really helpful. It is just as though we design composition as if we were carefully preparing ingredients for a cocktail. Mmm... waiting for the mixology tutorial by the way.
Can we have another video concerning the same topic maybe a tutorial of a sketch showing us the steps of ur own process of deciding how to arrange the elements in a drawing plzz and thank u 😘
Hello, thanks alot ! I liked it so much. Can i ask something? I heard from someone who works in graphic design that his company will hire anyone who have a sense of art and a sense of composition. What a sense of art or composition is like ?
mindrapeart that's why I stated for every reason to use one there is one not use one. There is also nothing wrong with being a mainstream clone. " don't fix what' ain't broke" as they say
The rule of thirds has never been an actual composition guide, it's a bad warping of a very different concept, mashed together with dynamic symmetry; the actual composition used by classical masters and today's cinematography. It's not tested and no it doesn't work, artists like you can just make it work by experience. Please research dynamic symmetry instead.
i have actually never heard of dynamic symmetry before that sounds like a great topic for a follow up video. im not sure i follow your comments on the rule of thirds though everything i have looked up on that mentions it as compositional tool.
Rule of thirds seems to work because of the inward facing bias of objects, as studied in aesthetics science. Objects that face the right tend to look better on the left side of a composition, and objects that face the left tend to look better on the right side of a composition. However, there is a center-bias, in the horizontal center of a composition, for objects that are forward facing. These are natural aesthetic instincts that reveal themselves in the art we look at, as well as when individuals are tasked to arrange objects in research studies. There's no need to complicate things any further. It can all be explained in 1 paragraph.
