Shape
Size
Line
Direction
Texture
Color
Value

Balance - it's like a seesaw, the heavier person has to sit closer to center to balance with the lighter person on the farther end biggrin
Harmony
Gradation
Variation
Alternation
Contrast
Dominance (Temperature, direction, value-low key, high key, full range)
Unity - create order from chaos

Focal points tend to have the greatest contrast in various design elements..I would imagine this isn't always the case whee

Obviously when you're drawing you can't possibly think about all of these at once D: but some artists do it sub-consciously 3nodding
