I was more attracted by the right one...😅
Not because of the rule of thirds but I think it's because of the lack of contrast and the color choices of the left one.
I think in composition we all have our own sensibility 🙂
Awesome vid as usual Alex 😉

[@thedrDraw]

Yeah my bad, I had to test the images up front. But it still brings the message across. Thanks for sharing Raynald

[@mariahorn9096]

i must admit, now i understand the fascination for Mondriaan, and see the composition in his works, .. (in dutch) het kwartje is gevallen😊

[@thedrDraw]

Yaaaay! Mondriaan is a boss playaaa

[@battz7252]

You had me on this one xD 5:41 you perfectly analyzed the flow of what i just looked at and my mind was blown. Now i believe that art could also be magic XD. Kim jung gi, a really great artist.

[@thedrDraw]

Cool! Happy to read that. Indeed art is a form of magic haha. Let me know if you find a way of using it :)

[@RRed04]

This is so important! less is more, just what i needed, thank you!

[@windywednesday4166]

Wow, my mind is blown. This looks like an amazing exercising in exploring composition! Thank you for sharing.

[@mariahorn9096]

i am waiting, aaaah, it started :)

[@HectorValenzuelahuglife]

Super insightful. Thank you!

[@thedrDraw]

Thanks Hector happy to read :)

[@eboi5575]

Thank you , it was very helpful

[@thedrDraw]

Happy to read that!

[@HuyNguyen-qj1vf]

[@nadavadiv]

Amazing content! thank you so much for sharing this knowledge! I would love to get some ideas for practical exercises in this subject. I will appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions!

[@thedrDraw]

In that case you might wanna check out my patreon, I share loads of tips over there on exercising

[@windywednesday4166]

So would I. I typed the name Piet Mondrian into Google and CZcams... some interesting things come up, but the exercises seem random. I think I'm going to take a clear plastic I have and put it over known works of art and use erasable pens to find the Mondrian pattern.

[@Louaffi]

I liked the right one because of the character 🤔 maybe I prioritise the character two much in my work

[@thedrDraw]

Noo more people said that. I had to test this up front. It’s logical because that piece has more contrast

[@SideBurns]

8:28 That looks pretty good for a kid, just saying. I'm impressed.

[@thedrDraw]

Thank you!

[@saltytree729]

Comic artists do this the best of anyone imo

[@williammclean6594]

I actually picked the right one the other ones ugly
