In digital art, it's really important to understand how lines and shapes can catch the viewer's attention. Here’s how I think about it:

1. Leading Lines

Lines can help guide where someone looks. Imagine roads, rivers, or the edges of objects.

• Diagonal lines: These can feel exciting and can point to something important.
• Horizontal lines: These are more calm and steady.

2. Shapes That Attract

Different shapes can make people feel different things and grab their attention. For example:

• Circles: They often feel friendly and can pull the eye toward the center.
• Triangles: These shapes can show movement and point towards something.

3. Contrast and Hierarchy

When shapes or lines are very different from each other, it makes things interesting to look at.

For example, a bright shape against a dull background will jump out at you!

4. Layering and Depth

Using shapes in layers creates a sense of depth. When things overlap, it helps guide the eye from the front to the back, making the artwork richer.

5. Balancing Act

Finally, it’s important to balance lines and shapes in your design. This keeps the viewer from feeling lost. A good flow through the artwork makes everything come together and keeps it fun to look at.

In the end, it's all about creating a journey for the viewer, moving them from one interesting spot to another!
