As we know, to make a great 3D artwork, one important thing is to have a sense of space. To achieve that, layers can help a lot. We can create several layers to make the images at the front or back. Then we will have order and sense within an image.  Here is an example that I made for 3D.  I have had five layers when making this work. To make the sense of 3D, I chose a floor and wall background first to be the foundation. After selecting several images and ordering them together, the work has a sense of space.  In addition, when people are editing their photos, they would like to pick some stickers to make the photo look pretty and attractive. I would like to post one of my selfies to show how it works.  For this photo, my original photo is the background, and all the layers are at the front. It does have a lot of layers, and I add a lot of stickers. One sticker is on one layer. The idea is that I don't want my photo to look very plain and boring, that's why I make it this way.

 To make a great picture, framing is a very important element. If you want to take a photo of yourself, you need to make the frame look very harmonious. Most photos that I like look simple, and they don't have too much messy stuff.  As we know, it has a grid when we use the camera on the phone. It has three rows of three columns. We can have a good framing by using this grid.  https://m.weibo.cn/5321997707/4563164630618843 https://m.weibo.cn/3480128977/4563229910502146 https://m.weibo.cn/6368224499/4562525088391344 The focus points of these three photos are all at the bottom of them---the second rows and the third rows. They have appropriate blanks on the top. That makes the photos look very neat, and people can pay attention to the focus point immediately.  Also, the focus point can be placed on the right side of the photo---the second and third columns. I have a small skill in taking photos of people. If we put the figure in the lower two rows and let feet reach the lower line, i

For this week, I am going to talk about color. Color is an important element to express the work. People can have a direct feeling through color. Different colors will give people different feelings. I would like to talk about three of my favorite colors.   Red is the most attractive color, and it is infectious strongly. It is the color of fire and blood. It is a symbol of enthusiasm, happiness, and danger. In color coordination, red often plays the main color and important contrasted role, and it is also the most used color.   https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8C9kugjPM/?igshid=6ij50ymr454 Also, for blue, it is the color of the sky. People always feel lonely and depressed, when they see a blue color. But blue can always mean quiet and pure. It can help people to stabilize their moods. I think that's why blue is always used in hospitals.  As we know, purple symbolizes mysterious and noble. It has a feeling of magic. It is heavy and stately. It is placed between warm and cold colors and

 I love line drawings which is the artwork without color. As we know, there are many elements of the artwork. I am going to talk about balance.    https://www.instagram.com/p/CF79Z1yhECG/?igshid=18bldej3kv7i1 When I checked my Instagram today to see whether my friends had any new posts, I found this one. I was attracted by this goat which had two human hands on its sides. On its hands, they both have eyes. It makes this drawing very mysterious. It looks like a goat human. We can see this work is balanced, it has two hands besides this goat, and the face of this goat is also balanced. The artist makes it very appropriate.  https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8b_tiB4aY/?igshid=1uvac3qouoras Also, this one is my favorite. The artist didn't draw the human figure very clear, but we can still know that these two are two-person. In my perspective, one is a woman, and the other is a man. There is a sword in the middle of them. This work looks very simple, but it is still balanced. People can eas
