The Dynamics of Drawing

We love variety in all things whether that be TV programs, the food we eat (imagine having pasta every night) the vacation time in the same place or in our artwork--drawing or sketching. I get tired of repetitive things and love change like everyone else.

So how do we introduce variety into our drawings? It's all in the BIG C: composition.

Example: in your mind, which of these two pictures would you prefer. One, all dots aligned vertically and horizontally like a grid pattern--or two, the same size dots randomly scattered? You could also have lines equal distance apart or each line unequal.

I will be writing more about composition with illustrations in the next blog. You comments here are welcome.
