A small exercise.

1. Step 01

   Three tiny studies

   Try three simple arrangements before choosing one. Focus on large shapes and where the eye goes first.

2. Step 02

   Keep the stages

   Save a copy after the sketch, after the first colour pass, and before the final adjustments.

3. Step 03

   One focused revision

   Choose one thing to improve: the light, the silhouette, or the background. Avoid changing everything at once.

4. Step 04

   A useful comparison

   Make a small export of the first and final versions. Keep the source files beside them in a project folder.
