Composition practice - critiques appreciated
-
Here’s a second composition
-
@Aleksey the drama in this piece is really cool. One thing I teach my students is to think how every mark or object tells the story. Your branches are getting a lot of my attention. The lines cause my eye to stay up in them rather than circling back to the warrior and house thing. Have you done Will Terry's composition 2.0 class? If not I highly recommend it.
-
@chrisaakins yes I have the issue im having with the branches is im not very good at trees. I was trying to make them look like spooky branches that create an archway around the baba yaga house. Maybe I should reduce their contrast and curve them a bit more
edit: i reread what you said and I think i know how to fix this, thank you!
-
I'm kind of weak on composition ( working on it tho) so no constructive comments but I like the depth you've got going on. I can see changes in your work. Also the Christmas one you posted recently with the hills in the background was very nice too!
-
@Coley aw thanks. Yeah ive been getting better at depth it’s only a matter of time before i tackle composition
-
Ok i worked on number 2 a but more. I think im really happy with it.
-
Alright heres my third one
-
@Aleksey I'm interested in doing the terryl whitlatch course at some point. Looks great
-
@Coley yeah me too!
-
@Aleksey This is really great. The use of light in the composition is amazing!
-

-
@Aleksey Yes, it has great contrast and leading lines.
