HOW TO DRAW BACKGROUNDS / COMPOSITIONS IN A CARICATURES DRAWINGS
In this sketch I have endeavored to show how the long straight lines should be disconnected by other
objects cutting into them.
Observe the following rules when you are designing the background to a drawing. Avoid long straight or curved lines without some object breaking into them. They are inartistic and disturbing to the eye. The accompanying sketch illustrates how you can make your backgrounds interesting.
Draw in your background as though you were arranging a stage setting, putting the various pieces of furniture in such positions as to break up the monotony of blank space and long lines. Frequently a good play falls flat owing to the poor arrangement of objects on the stage. I draw this comparison so that you will remember when at the theatre to note the stage arrangement.
The object in illustrating this matter is to impress it more vigorously upon your mind, for it is a well known fact that pictures speak louder than words; so I live in hope that should you forget my words you will not forget the pictures.
