Self Reflection

While doing this task, I really enjoyed creating a composition to go with the characters that I had already designed. It was like creating a story and I had to come up with a background that made sense for my characters to be in. This was my first time using composition techniques, seeing how the rule of thirds made my composition look more finished and easy on the eyes was very satisfying.
I think next time I could remove the outlines on the elements in the background if I don't add outlines to the background itself, or the other way around, because the chest in the composition stands out quite a bit.
