Composition Guide

Plan the Contrast First

Angels need open highlights around their wings, while demon designs benefit from darker framing and sharper shapes. In a dual composition, give both figures equal visual weight.

  • Upper arm: guardian angel or demon portrait
  • Forearm: split angel-and-demon composition
  • Calf: fallen angel with gothic ruins
  • Back or sleeve: large wings and full narratives
