Tip of the Day

When you start sketching, concentrate on the relationship between the figures & the surroundings. The most common mistake students make is the absence of perspective & the lack of 3rd Dimension, which makes the composition flat & unnatural. Second major problem is inappropriate proportion between two forms eg. Making the jug small & the glass bigger, which is wrong proportion.

Power of Colour & Pattern

Power of colour - As you can see above a drab looking wall has been transformed into this piece of art with the help of a good colour scheme. Colour is a very important tool in the hands of a designer. It can surely make or break a design scheme. Though certain guidelines are existing to achieve good colour combinations, you can perfect the art with a lot of practise & observation. Keep a close watch on this place....a lot more to come in a short period of time.

Tip of the Day

Positioning of your sketches in a given frame is also very important eg. A linear object like a pencil placed vertically in centre of a square boundary will not look very interesting, but the same object placed diagonally will make a better composition.
