Use of Composition

 For this project, I practiced using composition rules in my artwork.

Process

First, I picked a couple artists that inspired me to help guide the style for this piece. I chose Brian Froud as my main inspiration, and Frank Frazetta, Eyvind Earle, and Creature Box as background inspiration.

Next, I followed the practices that my class has been studying for the past few weeks.

1. I blocked out basic shapes.

2. I filled in the shapes to make sure the silhouette was recognizable, and made adjustments where needed.

3. I established my value separation with color.

4. I used the squint test to check if the lighting led the eye where I intended.

5. I used fog to emphasize the differences between the foreground, midground, and background.

6. I followed the L-shaped composition style to make an overall interesting illustration.
