Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.

Text:
"Planes" are a depiction of anything that exists in a drawing at a FiXED spatial distance from the viewer, with each grouping of subjects at a shared distance overlapping the next in order to suggest the spatial relationship of each element in the drawing to the others.
This image has three planes:
(Image of a drawing with a scorpion on a rock, a cowboy sitting on a rock, and a mountain in the background).
Each plane in an image signifies a different degree of distance, with the foreground SHARiNG the viewer’s spatial plane, and the background being the farthest from it.
There’s clear distance between each plane; no plane “touches” another.

Text: why is overlapping the planes necessary?
(image: a cowboy apparently close to the viewer, one a ways back, and then a saloon behind him).
Unless one plane directly overlaps another, there’s no sure clarity that they are, in fact, suggestive of different distances.
(image: the cowboy appearing to be closest is shown to be a giant, swinging the apparently midground cowboy by the head into the two-story saloon that's only about as tall as a person).

it’s also important to suggest scale in each plane using subjects whose size the audience is likely to know. when that isn’t possible, try repeating the element-of-unspecified-scale (a) from one plane in another and have it (B) interact there with a subject whose scale is clear.
(image: a small round cactus in the foreground, and farther off a cowboy sitting on a similar cactus)

Text: A perspective grid composition (A) suggests depth by progressive recession in space, while planar composition (B) suggests it with staggered recession in space.
(image: a receding grid and a series of staggered planar elements)
The principles of overlapping planar composition can be used with a perspective grid, especially if there are elements with right angles (like buildings).
Rough your panel with plane elements in place first...
...then make/place a grid that fits your layout...
...then utilize the grid to make the receding angles match.

(image: a wanted man hiding against a wall while a cowgirl crossed the street, looking around).
One of the most useful* aspects of a foreground element is to create a sense of immersion for your audience. by putting it on essentially the same plane as the audience itself, the audience becomes a
part of the story, seemingly able to touch the foreground, to lean around it for a better view.
(image: the wanted man is now decidedly a foreground element).
*it also means less time spent drawing all of the detail in the midground or background planes without ever aesthetically shortchanging your audience.

Digital art of a dwarven woman with bountiful cleavage sitting in a flirtatious pose. She has one long fingernail, shaped into a pen nib, between her teeth as though biting it. She gives the distinct impression that she knows something you don’t.

The Archmage Demodus Blix and his Noble, Faithful, Extremely Real companion Figment #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

A Black gnomish man, Demodus Blix, summons his cheery chameleon familiar named Figment. Demodus is just as cheerful - he wears a cheeky grin to go with his star-patterned chest binder and jaunty head scarf. His curly hair peaks out of the front and top of the tall head wrap, a little bit like an ice cream cone turned upside down. He has a stubbly chin, courtesy of Dol-Makjar's cheapest and most affordable beard-grow potions.

underrated advice that i wish i'd figured out way earlier in my digital art life: if your drawing software lets you adjust your pen pressure so you can make more varied line weights without using a lot of pressure, DO IT!!! cut off the end of that pressure curve!!!

"Do we have a problem? It's been a very long day, and the weather's turning." #criticalrole #thaishalloy

Digital art of Thaisha Lloy looking intensely out of frame at someone, her mouth a firm, pressed line and her gaze furious and powerful. Lightning crackles in the stormy night sky behind her, silhouetting her voluminous curly hair that echoes the shape of the clouds in the sky. A few flyaways strands at the side are almost glowing, their curving shapes not unlike the lightning.

A map kept by one hand is a leash. So I won't keep this one. One year of work. A map of a world that won't hold still. They call the Tower the centre; I found none. Drawn at its foot, with my back to it. Made to move. 🧵

An artist stands in a warmly lit studio holding a large hand-drawn fantasy map. The map is richly detailed with intricate architecture, circular inset illustrations, and gold ornamental borders. Books, sketches, ink bottles, and drawing tools cover the worktable in the foreground, while the studio walls are filled with artwork and decorative objects. The image emphasizes the scale of the map and the handmade nature of the project.

you realize gale is letting you in #bg3 #art #galedekarios

A digital painting of Gale Dekarios from Baldur's Gate 3. He's kneeling and looking up, though the image is cropped so that you can only see the lower half of his face. He has light skin, brown hair, and a beard. At the base of his neck is a strong glow from a magical mark on his skin; the glow branches out into veins that climb up his face. An unseen person with dark skin is touching the glow on his throat. The overall vibe is of something magical, sensual, and a little voyeuristic.
