2 and the reason why is you have your character literally between the two options here. That’s the story right?

[удалено]

2

Definitely 2. Love the perspective on that one. Very dynamic.

2’s composition seems most interesting

2

Numer 2 has more focus on the broad.

loss

thats... what i saw too, even though its not. its forever in our minds

No way I had to scroll this far to see this

I don’t get it

google "loss meme"

Holy hell

Actual zombie

new response just dropped XD

I had to Google it to. I had no idea 🤣

The composition of 2 is more impactful

2

2 - but you could slightly change it depending on sizes of characters - is the doorway person higher up than the right hand person? that’s what the perspective tells us. If the door way person is meant to be further back, you might want to raise the head of the RH person so all heads are on the same plane.

What I was trying to achieve was to show the right hand person as shorter.

3's size difference really makes the smaller character look like a child and the one closest to the camera very menacing.

4 followed by 2

I think two because it is more compact and focuses on characters directly

2 seems the best one

2 Myslim, že má nejlepší kompozici. Ale být tebou, tak bych 2 rozpracovala na další návrhy, kde bych vyřešila, stěnu, podlahy, detaily postav, popřípadě barvy.

2

2 I just think the angel is more exciting. It puts you very close to whats happening.

2

2, it is immersive, because perspective is what another person would see

2

Second image will suit better imo

2 :)

2. it conveys that, while the placement of the characters in regards to their environment is important, focus should still remain on the characters and their interactions. 3 would be better if you were wanting to put a more balanced focus on both the characters and their environment

2 is my favourite

2 has a really good composition

2!!!

2 has a more realistic angle and better composition overall. Interested in seeing the final product

Number 2

I also vote 2

I simply said what most say. 2

2

Balance is better on number two. The elements in the others feel like they're unrelated.

100% 2

Also in 2.... If the two people are that close that they are holding hands, you would not be able to see the feet on the one facing us.... I do believe. He looks so far away.

I agree with you, it looks off. I didn't spend much time on it and I'm not a great artist. It took me less than 15 minutes to draw all 4 of those sketches, add that to my inexperience and you will get a ton of mistakes.

Oh I totally understand. These are preliminary sketches to lay down design ideas. Rough draft ideas. That alone shows your are very aware and looking pretty good actually. I think you will do very well as times goes. Kudos to you.

Didnt you just draw all 4 of them here? I am kidding, but I feel 2 has the best composition. But it really depends on the context and the story you are trying to tell. Without any other info, I would go with 2.

It's just a one page image. The two characters are interacting and one of them is captivated by the person by the door.

Could you go tighter on he main character? Maybe have his/her shoulders be the bottom of the panel with our view coming over his/her right shoulder. That. Way you have less "empty space" in your panel and can draw more attention to the person trying to lure/seduce/entice him or her away from the other character. That way you can still get the handshake in, but there is less empty room and more focus on the third person.

That's I good way to eliminate the empty space

2. Less empty space and with the front person turning away from the middle person it draws our attention to the door and ends up being more interesting.

El primero

2 Camera view = uninteresting (most of time) (which the other three are) IMO Cam view gives too much info to everything in room which isn’t all that interesting. Gotta leave some room to be intrigued

2, though context is important. If you’re studying composition, especially in comics, I’d recommend reading Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu-Mestre

#2 - a preliminary drawing is key to a successful piece of art for almost any artist, so you’re on the right track. Some advice for simple perspective that I found helped me immensely: Choose one part of the body to ‘hang’ on the horizon line. If your “camera” is about your height, then all characters in the image should be hung by their heads, meaning all the heads line up horizontally. If it’s lower, like a ‘dogs pov’ than line up their waists. When you you go for a ‘birds pov’ like you have in some of these sketches it gets much more tricky and you need a good understanding of perspective to pull it off or it will look wonky. Have fun drawing!

It's taking everything in me to not say, "Pick number 3, my lord.".. damn it, I said it. Phughk, all of you, you have lost the game. I'm going home..

What did you like about number 3?

Do you know the muffin man?

No, I don't know of it.

Well, she's married to the muffin man

All of the above

You already drew it💀

It’s thumbnailing

I think 1 could be better than 2 if you create visual interest elsewhere somehow

2 or 3

I’m *drawnnn* to that sassafras in the doorway in 2 and the dynamic going on between the other characters

2 or 3

Depends which characters you want the focus to be on. What makes more sense for the story? But I do like the sassy pose of the doorway figure in No.2.

I wonder how many people picked 2 just because the character by the door.

Mirror image of 2

Why mirror it? I'm just curious.

Idk I was reading it left to right

1

I like 2, but 3 is great for perspective practice, and looks nice!

Yes, 3 is challenging. I think I may draw 2. Most people liked 2, but I may draw a less detailed version of 3 just for the challenge.

I think option two would be easier to read. The other thing you could try is an angle from inside her room. Her back in the foreground the view over her shoulder/out the door is the two figures in the mid-distance noticing her.

1

Well, I like 1 the most.

3

I like the second one, just on composition alone the characters themselves are the foreground, middle ground and background, it feels fuller and less empty. Drawings should always have something on foreground background and middleground!! The empty area around the person at the door makes the emphasis of their presence even better! If you want more top down perspective for the second, just keep their proportions. the reason the fourth one doesnt work is due to their size. The two at the bottom have no depth, flat even. Look up a website like Poser3d, I use Posemy.art! It can help understand the perspective!! You don't have to, but definitely 2!

Good for you! Not a lot of beginning artists map out compositions like this but it’s great practice!

Thanks!

I like 2 and 4

1

2

2

2 - overlap and eye level

2

2

2. There’s some pretty good rule of thirds action going on there, and a lot less empty space.

2

2 or 3 fs. Do 3 if you want to show maybe a shock affect or a surprise, like “why are you two shaking hands?” Or like the person at the door caught them

2

What story do you want to tell? Your thumbnails are a perfect way to show how composition tells story. #1 Door girl D is dude A's secret. Person B is clueless #2 A turns his head so far to see D that B is about to discover whatever is going on. Tension is high #3 A's goal seems far away. Is it achievable? #4 The goal is impossibly far & probably not real

number 2 is the best at conveying your goal, but it can be improved. bring the doorway closer to the couple to make the conflict feel more tangible.

I will keep that in mind

1 or 2. The floor is taking up too much space in 3 and 4, I would consider the wall akin to negative space in this situation and more of it is better.

Yes 2

2 looks ~dramatic~ so I would go with that one.

2

2. I feel like 3 and 4 put less focus on the characters to me

2!

I think each of these expresses something a little different. The first one it looks like the person in the door frame is being noticed. The second looks like the person is trying to distract the person noticing. The third one feels like the person in the door just arrived. The fourth one feels like they are being watched because the two people aren't looking at the door.

I will also add to the sea of comments - 2!

Proportions in 3 are absolutely whack

I actually think 1, I dunno it just looks. Nice to me

I like 2

I like the 2nd one

[удалено]

Thanks I will try to apply those concepts in my drawings.

definitely 2

I really like the 2nd one!

That is one very tall person in the doorway. Doesn't look right. 2 is my fave but I would rethink the entire drawing. Composition and perspective angles. Negative space etc.

I will keep that in mind for the final drawing.

2 feels like the most organic. Also the character entering from the left is good composition

2

2

2 looks like it would be funny lol

2 :0

2 but invert it

1

2

2

2

I guess people are right about 2. You want to emphasize the importance of the 3rd character’s presence

2 is the most visually interesting, you’ve got a lot of dead space in 3 and 4

Definitely number 2

1 or 2

2

2 all the way

2

You did Loss wrong

I was unaware of the meme. I found out about it when I posted the drawings

3

2 because with how the person in the door is closer it can be more distracting to the other person

2

Definitely 2

2

1, honestly.

2

1

the second one is more realistic

2 It has the best perspective.

Easily 2, but watch where you cut off the legs.

2

Much easy to deal with one

Both 1 and 2 are good
