A high-quality composition makes the distinction between a average artwork and your interesting, eye-attracting drawing. So once you learn to draw online, it's important to acquire some basic skills  about composition and its guiding factors.

Principle 1: Balanced Pictures

 A good quality way to make sure that your composition is balanced  is to consider your drawing as a scale.  If there is a bit on the right, you need something to balance it on the left. If there is a lot going on in the top half of the picture, you need something to balance it in the bottom half of the picture.

 If you fail to balance your composition the spectator's eye  will be focused out of the picture, as compared to being into the picture. As an artist you want to keep the viewer  looking at your effort for as long as possible.

 You can apply objects, or tone, or color to balance your drawing. If you have dark areas, they need to be balanced with lighter areas;  big objects in a drawing can be well-adjusted  by slighter fine objects or by similarly large objects.

 Another way to bring balance in your work is to make certain that you do not put the main objects in your drawing too close to the edge.  In contrast, bringing the main focus in the centre can lead to a boring composition.

Balance can be symmetrical (top and bottom or left and right are the same -  similar to a mirror image) or asymmetrical.  Symmetrical balance is simpler to attain,  but asymmetrical balance is more attractive.

 Guiding Factor 2: Locate Pleasing Compositions

There are a number of ways to create pleasing compositions but you will probably find that as you gain experience, creating a pleasing composition will become second nature. You'll have learned then to adjust  any picture's composition easily.

 While starting out how to draw,  noticing and re-creating satisfying compositions can be done easily  rather than creating them from scratch. One of the most helpful tools in creating  a lovely composition is a view finder.

Cut two L-shaped pieces of cardboard  and grasp them together to develop a rectangular frame.  Then clutch that frame between you and the scene that you want to draw  and shift it around till you get an appealing and lovely composition.

This is the drawing equivalent of 'zooming-in' when taking a photograph  and it will help to make certain that you do not include  too many details in your sketch. You can also use the viewfinder to make sure that the format you use ( landscape or portrait) will be thematically appropriate for your drawing.

 Guideline 3: Make Pleasing Compositions

 If you have experience then it is sensible to try to create scenes to have a pleasing composition.

 So you can put together scenes having some depth,  for example, scenes having a foreground, middle ground and background.  Overlap some of the objects to stress on this depth. An odd number of objects is often  more pleasant than an even number, just as asymmetry is generally more interesting than symmetry.

 You may attempt using the 'Rule of Thirds' to make certain  that your composition is not very static or unexciting.  Using an assortment of shapes and textures and noting negative space ( the space around your thing/s)  will also avoid your drawing from being uninteresting and static.  Additionally, be cautious of objects that tend to just touch  as this can be disturbing.  Objects should overlap or there ought to be a space between them to prevent this kind of distraction.
