CGTF #1: Basics of Composition (Art Fundamentals)

Art tutorials for the price of a cup of coffee!

This is first release into the art fundamental series (CGTF). Unlike the CGT series, the CGTF series focuses on a key art fundamental, with a demonstration on how to utilize it.

This time around, I will be focusing on the basics of composition and the tools you should be using to optimally present your subject matter. I will begin with a lecture, spanning around 20 minutes, to fully explain the ideas behind it. Soon after, there will be a process video of one of my paintings utilizing the tools discussed and where it applies. To finish it off, there will be a drawing exercise that you can do in order to train yourself to think of composition in your work.

Full features:

-~20 minute lecture explaining a key art fundamental

-~42 minute process video with full commentary, applying the art fundamental to a painting!

-Raw video of the painting process!

-Written summary for easy reviewing purposes!

-Photoshop file of the artwork used!

-Drawing Exercise for you to try out!

-Low resolution versions available for those with bandwidth concerns!

Please do not hesitate to comment if you have any ideas on what I should release next. I will be focusing more on explaining specific art theories in future CGTs/CGTFs.

Thank you!
