It’s best to think about the composition before you start drawing. Plan your drawings with these rules in mind.
Focal point
When you start, decide on what you want the focal point to be. The focal point is where you want the viewer to look first. To get people to notice this area first, ensure it has the most detail or contrast. If there is a face or figure, this will naturally become a focal point because people always look at people.
How do you decide what the focal point should be? Sometimes it’s instinct. If that doesn’t work, choose a focal point that draws attention to your feelings about this scene, and the visual story.
