Where do you want the viewer to look? In nature, the eye goes to high contrast and sharp edges. Decide on one square inch of your work that will hold the "extra quality."

The "dash" is a signature of time—a record of a split-second decision made by a living being. The "enature" connection grounds us in the organic rhythms we evolved to love. The "extra quality" is the emotional resonance that makes a viewer stop scrolling and start staring.

Start by doing the ugly work. Lay down your base colors and block shapes. Do not worry about quality yet. Get the composition right. This is the canvas.
