I've barely drawn anything outside of work this year.
I don't know whether to worry about skill atrophy (since it my job...) or just be happy with the progress away from feeling compelled to perform my one weird trick for external validation.

Repetition is inherent. You need it to create contrast.

Noise is basically detail or density of information
But I avoided using the word ‘detail’ because detail has connotations of effort, value and intentionality.
Noise can be the texture created by brushstrokes, or the visual noise of a dense paragraph, or a crowd in a photograph.

I agree!!! Contrast =/= just value
Though tbf, the audience generally won’t have the same limbic/emotional response to each of these gestalt elements.
Some of them - like value - are punchier and more attention grabbing than others - edges are pretty subtle and lower impact for instance

It’s all about establishing a norm/pattern with these elements throughout your image, and then breaking them on purpose to draw attention!

Back to controlling the eye with contrast,
An example (artstation.com/artwork/vxvxO)
What makes you look at the focal points(s)?
For this, the big ones are:
- hue
- value
- grouping
- saturation
- scale
- edges

Using multiple of these aspects at once is impactful, but can create stylistic dissonance.
It's worth considering what you want your overall impact to be, and locking a few aspects in. Bluey for instance locks in rounded square-ification as a shape language to keep a friendly vibe.

NOTE this guide neglects to mention bit-less bridles/mechanical hackamores. These look similar to an English bridle, but cross under the jaw, or have a mechanical way of applying pressure.
These specific ones are a relatively recent phenomenon at <100yo,

It has made me super grateful for the lovely friends in my life who took me home from hospital (and supervised me) and got me groceries. (And all the more aware of how I need to make sure I’m checking in to take care of them too.)
But man, what a lonely experience it has been :(
