Week 3: Composition

A 10 minute line drawing focused on form and composition.

The composition in this image is good, as there are some good uses of the rule of thirds, specifically the jug on the right in the vertical, and the cup on the left in the horizontal. There are also some good lines in the image following the tops of the objects and also the sides of the jug which display long continuous lines. There are also no orphaned objects and no kissing objects, although with the tops of the two central objects it is slightly unclear if they are or not. The slightly lighter lines describing the people and area of the background also aid the image overall, as they give the composition more place and help to give a sense of depth to the picture.

The lines and especially the ellipses of some of the objects are good at describing the form, even though there is no shading there is a distinct idea of how the objects are shaped and where they curve, if they do. One place where this is not very effective is the top of the rectangular object, it is not entirely obvious what it is doing.
