How to compose a fluent painting in Photoshop and improve your digital workflow
Briefly

The illustration of a big robot began as a sketch created during a mentoring session. It aimed to blend interesting composition and dynamism, incorporating both large and small elements. The artist focused on creating a well-thought-out design while utilizing advanced digital art software and a drawing tablet. The intent was to enhance their ability to teach painting processes, emphasizing the importance of light and dark contrast and color use to achieve a memorable focal point and a strong composition.
In this image, I also wanted to create a strong contrast between light and dark, and warm and cool areas, using complementary colours and other tools to generate a striking, memorable focal point.
I wanted to explore my ability to conceive an illustration further while creating a functional, well-thought-out design rather than painting for the sake of it without a focus.
At the time, I'd already been thinking about starting a course to demonstrate my painting process for scenes, and to help other artists understand how I solve paintings.
Gunning for that level of contrast has always helped me when trying to work out a strong composition.
