I posted a very early version of this sketch a while back; and I was never very happy with how the composition worked. I put it aside for awhile, and over the last month or so I've been really trying to re-work it to tell the exact story I wanted. I finally feel like I've got the composition about as strong as it can be, so I've started going in and working in a little more as far as the major shapes and what's going on.
Knocked this out this afternoon and I thought I'd share it. Just working out the rough composition for a illustration I wanted to do, to get more into the practice of storytelling in a drawing. There are a couple things I'd like to change, mainly grouping the people up at the top manning the ropes. Will probably blow this up a good 2-3 times when I work on the final piece, as I should get into the practice of drawing BIGGER.
