#025 Why Leading the Eye with Three or More Objects Makes a Difference

Hi! 

Have you ever thought of what makes a drawing good. Well, it's lots of things, but good composition (arrangement of the pieces) is a big part of it. One object may be uninteresting because we look at it for a few moments and then we are finished. But when we introduce three or more objects to our drawings our eyes are fixed on the picture longer. This is because our eyes move from one object to the next. As our eyes move around the picture our attention is focused on it for a longer period. Today you will have the opportunity to try this our for yourself. 

Enjoy Drawing!

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

• One object causes us to fix our eyes on it only.
• Two objects cause us to bounce back and forth between the two - a bit tiring. 
• Three objects cause us to rotate around the pieces and holds our attention for a longer period. 
• Cut or break objects to see what's inside and add even more interest to the drawing.
