With one week to spare, I've finished my entry for the Colored Pencil Society of America's International Exhibition judging. From what I've seen so far, there is very stiff competition to get into the show this year.

Good composition often develops through subtle adjustments..

Consider using secondary elements like shadows to balance your composition and create natural pathways for the viewer's eye.

Remember, these aren't rules - they're tools for your creative intuition.

See how camera distortions play tricks with size and perspective that we don’t want in our final artwork.

I always adjust these quirks in Photoshop before starting to draw (look at the difference between the crayons on the table) - correcting the proportions to match what our eyes naturally see.

Hi Bluesky! I'm a colored pencil artist who loves creating vibrant, saturated works. Check out some examples of my art below! I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow artist and art lovers here!

Creating breathing room in your composition isn’t just about empty space - it’s about giving your subject the presence it deserves. When a drawing feels cramped, try expanding the margins around your focal point.
