OUIL505 Contextual reference texts

Adrian Tomine's book "New York Drawings"
A selection of quite simple compositions - I've noticed he uses a lot of close up images of people's head which help to 'frame' the illustrations and give them a bit more depth, which I assume makes a background scene easier to visualise on paper and fit with the figure in the foreground.

Loomis "Creative Illustration" 
I'm reading the chapter about composition in order to help improve my ability to compose illustrations and finding it really useful.
