Square Composition in Illustration: Level Up Your Works for Instagram

Dear Barbara,Thank you so much for your kind words about my project! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed my composition sketches and that I was able to capture different dynamics and moods with them. Your feedback about the alignment of the objects and how the little placements give it life and dynamism made me smile - it's exactly what I was going for!I'm glad you also liked the coloring and how the soup stands out as the main character, and that the background still has some details even with the darker tones. And your praise about the texturing is really appreciated - I worked hard to get it just right!I had so much fun taking your class and exploring the world of composition and color. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for being such an inspiring teacher. I hope to take another one of your classes soon!Many thanx!

Wow, this is a beautiful project, you did an amazing job! I really love all your small composition sketches, they are really neat and express so many things! I think you captured every kind of composition and dynamic with them so well. The one you picked is also really exciting, I love how you alligned the objects along the diagonals, but not entirely perfectly, these little placements give it so much life and dynamism.The coloring is also spot on, the soup stands out as the main character, and the background is separated with the darker tones, but still has details. And I have to praise your texturing a bit too, it's a really nice worrk.Thank you so much for taking my class, glad you found it exciting!

The lesson was really informative and exciting. I decided to try my hand at composing the ingredients of a Lithuanian pink soup.
