This task was fairly challenging and I'm not sure i went about it in the right way really. I did, in some of the preliminary sketches, experiment with the inclusion of a landscape/environment to give some context to the image. I ended up leaving that out, though, in the final drawing in an attempt to focus more in the arrangement of the elements in it, which I now think was possibly a mistake. The resulting image, I feel, is not focused enough on composition in it's use of shape or space to work on a purely aesthetic level, and it doesn't include enough information to hint at a narrative or context. It's stuck in a sort of awkward mid-point between the two. I think in future, I need to consider that contextual information and physical presentation can help bring out the best in each other.
