  • Skills-Create a composition from random characters-Add volume and depth-Use the Draw Inside mode

In this tutorial I’ll explain how to make a composition from abstract elements and convert some of them into characters.

The abstract effect here is partially created by combining natural and imaginative elements, but you can choose any elements you like to make your composition.

I’ll also demonstrate a number of different shading techniques that you can use in your own works to add depth. In addition, I’ll share some general tips on composition and colouring that can be applied to a variety of different styles to add interest to your artwork.
