Thank you! Already started on a few pages, so excited to proceed!!

Do I need 2 agreements before submitting the 250 challenge?

I think people need to agree with me if you want the next level. If that's what you mean... Other than that you are good to submit when you get it done. One thing I would consider though is getting on the discord server and submitting the box challenge through critique-exchange channel. I only say this cause I submitted mine through the website and it still hasn't gotten critiqued. You can see the instructions under pinned messages. Here is the link if you haven't already joined - https://discord.com/invite/drawabox.

Framed Ink

Framed Ink

I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.

Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.

Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.

Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.
