Character Composition and Design

To put it as simply as possible, composition is an arrangement of elements that makes us see them as a whole. Every artwork has some composition. You either create it consciously or by accident, but you can’t create a drawing without it. 

In a more practical sense, composition is the relation between the elements of the picture. And this relation, not the elements, is the first thing we notice. At the same time, it’s actually invisible for us. It’s like the skeleton of a living creature—you can’t see the bones, but they make the body look like it does. Without the skeleton there would be no form.
