Proportion

Proportion:

Proportion is the principle of design that refers to the relationship between the sizes of different parts of an artwork. It describes how elements compare to one another in scale—whether they are large or small, realistic or exaggerated. Artists use proportion to create a sense of balance, realism, or emphasis within a composition.

By adjusting proportion, artists can make their work feel natural and harmonious, or intentionally distorted to create drama and impact.
