Description I pretty much just made this to explain use of canvas space for a one-to-one conversation, but once I finished it I realised there might be a few people who could find it useful.  I see lots of beginners placing their whitespace drawings oddly or cropping them in uncomfortable ways (and my younger self is all sorts of guilty of about...what, all of these?) so here's something for anyone who has that problem.  It's hella basic and really only that applicable for pictures without a real background, but...yeah!

Forgive the wonky text placement, I cobbled this together pretty quickly. And if I've said anything weird in this or there's anything you think I should add, let me know! I'd like to make this useful. c:

If you're looking for more detailed tutorials on composition including backgrounds and multiple figures, here's a couple of my favourites:

Haha, thank you! Although I think your composition is already great, I'm surprised that any of this is news to you because it seems like you already have it figured.

Aw thank you so much!  Yeah I mean I guess I can tell when something looks off but I didn't really know the reasoning behind it or how to fix composition issues so this was still informative.
