Composition, Composition, Composition

What makes an artist’s drawing unique and special has a great deal of consideration for composition. Including elements and principles of art and design are really important however the strength of your drawing’s composition reveals a lot about perspective.

More importantly, your perspective. This is where artistic freedom comes into play!

Let’s pretend you possess a Superprof ‘artist camera’ and you want to take photos of a dog sitting. You take photos of the dog and begin with a few aerial shots from above, behind, from the sides, and a few below eye level. 

And you come to the conclusion that these angles offer a different perspective than a simple eye-level shot of a dog sitting.

This is true for composition and drawing. No drawing is the exact same and neither is a fresh perspective. 

So the next time you think of drawing a subject of place, try sketching it from different angles at first and then pick one that you really like. Thinking abstractly about your subjects in space using your handy dandy Superprof ‘artist camera’ will help you discover new possibilities to ‘see’ when you draw.

In art culture, artists call this tool a ‘view finder’ and there are plenty of fun DIY examples of how to make one for yourself. Your Superprof teaching artist can teach you how to use one when looking for the right perspective in your drawings. Happy Composition building!

Build confidence in your art

There is no such thing as ‘bad art’. Art is a natural response to creating, just as walking is to moving. No one can be a good or bad walker and the same can be true for art.

No one walks the same and neither should you especially when it comes to your drawing style!

At Superprof, we consider art as an action verb. Anyone can create and learn something along the way that only adds to your unique style. Which is why experienced, Superprof teaching artists can help supply tools and tricks that you can incorporate in your own drawing practice.

The more knowledge about the elements of design and art like point, line, value, texture, space, color, and form you can use in your own work the closer you are to discovering your own style. The same goes for Principles of Art and Design (i.e. pattern, rhythm, balance, unity, proportion, emphasis, contract).

Thinking about adding color or using a monochromatic palette? Try both!. The more you open yourself to new techniques and applications the more informed you can be as an artist with their own unique take on drawing.
