Very interesting to watch your creative process. You nail down composition from the start by your use of shape. The shape determines the drawing. I’ve been thinking about it all wrong. I set out to draw things and hope the composition falls into place. Usually I can make it work, but in doing so: much of the essence is lost. Your way is brilliant.
