My brother and I are making our first book about cats. Today I’ve been working on the garden area. Here is the initial sketch:

The problem is that the trees create a kind of frame in the picture, as so:

There’s still a lot of space outside those borders made by trees. That’s not a good composition because you can’t really draw anything interesting there. The eye will naturaly see what’s inside the borders and will miss anything that is outside.
To fix that, I moved the whole image left so that there’s not so much of that useless space on the left. And then moved the other tree more to the right:

Now I am adding more cats and details but that’s not ready to show yet.
