Stargazer. This was a composition exercise I started many months back, however I’ve been super busy and didn’t get around to putting the finishing touches on it until now!
I was reading the wonderful Creative Illustration by Andrew Loomis (out of print, but free pdfs available online) and he has a great section about informal subdivision as a compositional tool. Informal subdivision is a process Loomis created where you divide your image space unequally (and somewhat randomly!) by drawing a series of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines, following some certain rules. Then you use those lines to suggest a composition for whatever subject you’re drawing.
You can see the subdivision I created above & overlaid with the final. Instructions on how to do this & further process are on my blog! Try your own!
- Bane: Ohh, you think tumblr is your ally. You merely adopted tumblr. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see such posts until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but reblogs! The Dashboard betrays you....because it belongs to ME.
Unpopular Opinion Time.
I wish my laptop could support a fucking tumblr Savior just so I could Florence and the Machine off my bloody dash.
……….. I am definitely not listening to a Florence and the Machine song right now.
I want a magical girl story.
