Beginning Artist 🌻

#oh... oh my god #i teared up looking at this #louie...#the way she holds the canvas so close to her #like she's so absorbed in what she's drawing she's leaning her full body weight onto the canvas trusting that it'll support her completely #the sunlight from the window #her WRINKLES #her soft wrinkles... and her smile #oh my gosh i'm gonna cry #this is my new favorite art piece

I'm absolutely obsessed with your art piece of Etho's kill on Joel!! The composition is incredible. How did you learn that kind of composition? I've started learning art and your piece feels like ultimate composition goals!!

oh,, my god thank you so much.......

i never really learned composition, it's all just sort of intuition and experimenting, but i'll talk through my thought process for this one.

the only thing i was sure of from the beginning was that i wanted a low angle of etho jumping pulling his fishing pole back. at first i considered making it a comic because i liked all the crazy stuff etho yelled in that scene and there was just so much that happened in that short amount of time, but i struggled with making the composition work; i felt like i was squeezing stuff in, so i abandoned the idea.

after that, i thought maybe less is more, and just had etho jumping at the top and joel falling at the bottom landing in the water, but my friend pointed out i had a lot of negative space i wasn't utilizing.

i went back to brainstorming and looking for inspiration, and a lot of the life series art that i admire incorporate symmetry and symbolism, so i thought maybe i could put elements of their history from double life into the background. i also really liked the imagery of the stab itself rather than them just jumping, so drawing inspiration from ciearcab's philza illustration, i drew the stab big and center, kept etho's jump and joel's fall, made the water more graphic, and added the RelationShip and the fire. from there, it was adding more detail, adjusting color, adjusting anatomy, and adding smoke to balance out the top.

i really really struggled with this piece actually and i got a LOT of help from my friend @linktoo-doodles. i'm glad you like it and see it as "ultimate composition goals" hahaha! i honestly think it's a little too busy and certain important elements don't stand out enough, but i definitely put in a lot of effort and learned a lot.
