Okay, what do you see? Many different elements, that’s right. Let’s analyse this one bit by bit, since it has a couple things I need to explain.
The red part, is the largest element in the picture, that’s ok, because it’s the closest patch of land. I wanted to focus on the people and city which are marked with yellow. But these two elements are mainly on the left side, and would unbalance the painting, that’s why the blue part of the image rises up. And balances the image again. Distant elements like the green and purple one become smaller, to create a feeling of perspective, these elements are placed straight on the horizon, to keep it all balanced.
3d work

Hisen’s mansion, a work I created about a year and a half ago.
The image consists of elements in the front, and in the back. We can see that the perspective makes the house smaller on the right. That’s why I added the smoke plum, to keep it in balance. The front elements (blue) are ment to be in balance with the purple element (trees).

When divided in four pieces we can see another quite equal division of elements
Conclusion:
So this was my tutorial on how I make compositions. I really hope you learned something from it, whether it is an eye opener, or some useful tips, I hope you use them I your future works. See you next time.
