#ALSO DRAGON HICCUP BELONGS TO SECRET N KAE

[midoristeashop]

God your drawings are AWESOME as always!!! I was wondering-I love how you make compositions work. You make the characters fit into the scenes that your drawing as if they're there, giving your drawings a very 3D, 4D sort of feeling to it. Do you have any tips or advice when it comes to this? I always find myself having trouble with that the most; knowing how to give a drawing depth.

Love your last drawing btw :) DRAGON HICCUP DRAGON HICCUP

HEY NOTEEE 🫶🏼

First of all tyty you always make my day brighter w ur comments and tings <3

Um composition yeah so I’ll be so real and say most of the time I’m going off the animatics in my head and vibes BUT some tips I can give:

1. Rule of thirds!

Basically, in your canvas ur gonna draw this thing

And wherever those lines cross, put the subject or the most important element of your piece in that area! It’s a neat little trick that helps your eyes move around the piece + have a little more dynamics overall <3 (or in the middle, but like,,, depends on the vibe u know)

2. Love your subjects AND your backgrounds

This is annoying but something I had to learn on my own is that if you want a cohesive piece, love your bgs how you would love your subjects! Using similar styles like lineart, lineart BRUSHES, rendering brushes just putting a little bit of everything into the entirety of your piece def helps make your illustrations feel cohesive.

3. Greyscale - know your lights and darks

Ok this one is tricky but something I love doing before doing a really big illustration/ scene in general is doing a grey scale thumbnail. This is where you can actually see/experiment w depth and contrast! Ex. Your subject (in general) is gonna be a focal point in your piece, so making sure that they don’t blend in with the mid tones/greys really helps with knowing what is in front, and what’s behind.
