use previous all previous knowledge here

Elements of composition

• organization
• position, orientation, harmony of objects
• cropping, field of view
• eye path
• arrangement
• lines
• perspective
• breaking rules create tension; master the rules to break artistically.

Memory drawing

there is not enough practice

• the question of aesthetics: what is pleasing and easy for the eyes and the mind
• plan the composition when attempting the questions
• contrast of the main idea, subject, object with the background
• perspective: draw the main geometric accurately, rest will follow, dissection of the scene is a skill
• never make flat pictures, always add perspective

NEVER THINK AND DRAW SIMULTANEOUSLY

huge mistake

tips

• focus on the main action; like the scene of the petrol bunk, not the architecture and other big picture
• 65% of the scene is better with a human figure: make it more alive

improve memory drawing

• imagination: mind mapping --- list all the details you can think of
  • recall subtle details; skill of a designer
  • eg. tea stall: newspaper, lighter hanging, dogs
  • make the picture tell a story; more dynamic and natural; like a photo

practice by taking photos and sketching them

• copying
• adapting
• composing
