      For this month’s contest, I’d like to push myself to include more elements than I normally do (a bit like the draw 50 things challenge). In particular I’d like to include multiple characters besides the main one. Here’s what I have so far:

      I’m not really sure my composition is working however, for example I noticed there’s very little overlap between the characters and I’m not sure the composition feels unified. Does anyone have advice on how I could get a stronger composition? I’m not really sure how to overlap the characters without obscuring them and making things confusing.

        @Braxton great sketch. But you may consider making the foreground monkey little bigger . And to make the value on the background and the foreground a little different.
