To draw a powerful and attractive composition

Let's correct the illustrations submitted through the KawaiiSensei official LINE!

This time, here's an illustration!

Author's comments and excerpts -------------------------------------------------------

• I don't know what's good about my own illustrations and what I can do to improve them.
• I am not sure what is good about my own style and where I can go from here.
• I like the process of drawing, and I especially enjoy thinking about the structure of the body and devising ways to draw it. I can draw people and animals, but their expressions are stiff and lack dynamism.
• I am happy at the moment of completion, but after a few days, I lose interest in the process. The painstakingly enjoyable process and the sense of accomplishment are what keep me going with drawing.
• I am not interested in the process of drawing.

As per your comment, you do very well with the shapes of people and cats!

You seem to be struggling with your motivation to paint, so I'll answer this one later in the article!

This time, you sent us an illustration with two characters and a background.

Let's talk about [attractive composition]!

Good points and points of concern

Great illustration, great colors, great storytelling!

Now let's get the composition sorted out and put it in a more visible arrangement!

Correction of sketches

I placed people and cats in large sizes.

Explanation of eye guidance

The cat's tail is placed in a large size, and the person's hair is swept to the side, overlapping the cat's silhouette.

Overlapping silhouettes.

Crossing the flow (in this case, the cat and the tail.

If you keep these in mind, it is easy to create a composition with movement and depth.

Detailed explanation

The cat's right eye tends to close and the left eye is wide open.

Changing the impression on the right and left sides of the face is one way to create a striking expression.

The figure also shows movement because the right leg is out and the left leg is pulled back.

Be aware of the technique of changing the impression of the left and right sides of the face.

the final drawing

This is a simplified clean-up drawing.

I even distorted the shape of the background to make it look more otherworldly!

Lastly, regarding the concern that "I don't feel attached to it once it is finished.

The artist said, "I like the process of drawing, and I especially enjoy thinking about the structure of the body and how to draw it. This is a very important skill!

I think the most important talent in drawing is the talent to keep on drawing.

The more you paint, the more chances you have to get better, and the only person who ends up painting is the one who keeps on painting.

I think it is a great talent that the process is the most enjoyable.

I also like to show my paintings to people close to me and have them praise me.

I also recommend looking back at your past paintings and thinking how much you have improved since then.

If you can enjoy your own growth, you may enjoy looking back at your work after it is completed.

That's it for this round of corrections. Please look forward to the next installment!
