Composition rules - Digital drawing session
Today in our digital drawing session with Jordan, we discussed the importance of key compositional rules.
Key terms
Diminuation - objects get smaller as they get further away from viewer
Foreshortening - lines or surface parallel to the observer's face show their maximum size
Convergence - lines or edges of objects that are parallel appear to come together (converge) as they recede from the observer
Overlapping objects - help define distance
Shadows - show situation of object
Value/tonal range - bright and clear when closer to obsever, hazy as further away
Perspective
1 point perspective - horizontals and verticals stay
2 point perspective - verticals stay
3 point perspective = extreme shots - height
Composition Ideas
These are the perspective activities that we did as practice

Composition Ideas
- Points of interest
- Rule of 3
- Leading lines - push viewers' eyes
- Depth and framing
- Balanced/stability
- Tonal value
- Perspective
- Symmetry/one point perspective
This is a good example of the Rule of 3
