Composition for Artists - Ep.02 Negative and Positive Space
This is the next vid in the composition series. The main point I wanted to show is how to balance negative and positive shapes. Too often, compositions fail because there is an equal balance of negative to positive space. This can work sometimes, very well too... But in environments, especially epic scenes, it's usually better to have either positive or negative space dominate. Anyway... More to come in the next few days, so be sure you're subscribed so you don't miss out!
