When Compositing Various Subjects Together

Size Matters!

One of the biggest mistakes I see in compositing is SIZE.  Sizing your elements to fit together accurately according to their real-life sizes will make your composited art much more believable.  I frequently see images where my brain says "something is off with this..." and further analysis often indicates the sizing of the elements together is not correct.   In my opinion, the only place where it may be appropriate to have sizes drastically different would be in fantasy style art.  When it comes to fantasy, anything goes.  But if you're doing a realistic style work of art, size of your elements is something you need to be as accurate as possible with, for a believable end result.

In the video below, I take you through a size analysis of my subjects, and then I complete the image with textures and resources from The Farmhouse Collection.
