This thread is for discussing and identifying different skills used in drawing and painting so that those who lack in some know what to concentrate on.

Here are the eight I've thought of so far:

1. Gesture
2. Anatomy
3. Perspective
>2 Aspects: proportion and 3Dality/spatial awareness
4. Line style
>Examples: Thick black outlines, lines that vary in quality, lines that vary in quality within the line, lines that vary in quality between lines, etc.
5. Line skill
6. Symbol style
>Being able to represent things in abstract ways, e.g. anime noses.
7. Value
8. Color
>I'm sure this could be split into a few but I don't know much about this.

Once you start breaking it down like this you can come up with probably hundreds. Each of those topics you came up with can be further broken down numerous more times.

Anyways, some obvious ones you missed:
-composition
-texture
-shape design
-edges
-appeal/personal style
-materials
-storytelling
-brushwork
-design (costume, vehicles, architecture etc)
-lighting/mood

But of course each of those can be further broken down a lot, and I'm sure I missed many too.

Composition, design and storytelling are my top 3 most important. What are yours?

Not OP, but mine would probably be:
Mood
Shape
Quick read (clarity of composition/story/values etc)
