Synopsis

Rui Tomono sets out the core principles of composition and perspective through in-depth, example-led case studies, showing how choices such as framing and focal points can guide the viewer’s eye. Alongside notes and tips, the book explores establishing point of view, arranging elements with tools including the rule of thirds and the golden ratio, and creating a sense of flow for moving subjects.

It also covers building clear foregrounds and backgrounds, and explains how to develop black-and-white sketches with colour to reach a finished artwork. With a focus on manga and comic art, it is aimed at comic book artists looking to strengthen visual storytelling through more deliberate composition.
