Here’s my talk from Blender Conference 2017 about the secret of making high-quality art. Hint: it’s about arranging big, medium and small shapes inside the composition.

Do you think this concept is helpful or is it inventing a bicycle? Did you try that technique on your own renders to see if a shape distribution looks right?
Share your thoughts and maybe even renders/paintovers.

Interesting talk, Gleb! I’ll definitely look at the compositions with different eyes from now on.
Thanks for that.

Amazing article. Not following primary, secondary & tertiary shape relationships catches me out in my traditional media (non-CG) work all the time.
This will improve my drawing no end.
