this is a black and white comic strip that explains how lighting and shadow can affect composition in artwork. the strip uses a theatrical setting with actors on a stage to illustrate the concept. the first panel shows actors evenly lit, creating a flat image without a clear focal point. the second panel shines a strong spotlight on the lead actor, making him the clear center of attention but potentially too dramatic. the third panel strikes a balance with enough light to understand the scene but a subtle spotlight on the lead for a clear focus and good composition.
