This article is very small, but good to first steps to study the rule of thirds:

From top to bottom: In this drawing you can see, on the upper right cross, the path that takes the observer towards the unknown.

In the opposite corner, lower left, I don't leave the space "empty" and place something to capture the observer's attention - in this case the ruin - and give the composition balance.

Two diagonal lines occupy the viewer with his view along the drawing and these lines are connected by a vertical line, which takes the view to the upper right corner - towards the cave.

The top left corner is mostly "empty" so it's a good place to position the title, cartouches etc.

Obviously all compositional rules are also made to be broken. But usually this only gets good when the person masters the rule to be broken.

I started working on the second season of Karkaroff in the "ravenloft" part of my private world. Fodorov Karkaroff heads south in search of his missing father.
