"Chester got its table dirty and scribbled on Mr. Monopoly's class... again! This time it will clean while Mr. Proper takes a breather for once."
And again I bit more than I could chew... This time not even the bell saved me so the drawing is finished but no color!
@DPatch45
A very nice drawing.
How nice of Chester to give Mr. Proper a rest; though, I guess he is the one who made the mess; so it's only proper for Chester to clean this one up ;)
You got me with that pun. I still don't know why I wrote Mr. Proper instead of Mr. Clean!
Time will get a bit cheesy for Chester...
I was wondering that myself :D I thought he looked a lot like Mr. Clean, but I allowed for the possibility he had a proper lookalike.
It is indeed Mr. Clean! haha Here where I live we called him Mr. Proper I think bcs of the translation from the french Mr. Propre...
Anyway, let's say he has that proper lookalike lol
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.
