light analysis
The light is coming from the top right area and shining down onto the snow and fox. You can tell its sunlight as it has very pure white tone to the fur.
The dunes in the snow are causing shadows on the left side and the areas that the sun hits first are sparkling and very white due to sub surface scattering.
This is also seen on the fox’s fur where some areas are brighter and paler.
The light in this imagery is coming from behind the trees at the top. This is a good example of subsurface scattering as the leaves in the trees are letting light through but where they do they have a brighter a more translucent appearance to the point where they’re almost yellow.
In this image the light is coming from above and behind the ring, causing a shadow to appear in front of it, due to the curved nature of the book surface however, the shadow has form a heart shape.
The light is most intense on top of the ring to the point where light has burnt away the gold colour. Refraction allows other dents and scratches to be seen as well as the inside of the ring and atop the shadow showing that the light which wasn’t reflected from the ring continued travelling.

Composition Analysis
There are various forms of composition in artwork.
For this analysis exercise I will be using an artist named Greg Horn, for the sake of keeping it thematic I’ll use comic book imagery.
Devine Proportions:
This is used so that the artist may place the most important aspect of the picture in the most aesthetically pleasing area as seen here with ‘Emma Frost’
Rule of Thirds:
This separates the canvas into 9 segments and has the important aspect place on 1 of the inner corners as seen here with Spider-man’s facial area.
Iconic:
Used to frame the most important aspects of the picture as seen here with Mystiques face, body and gun as well as the tiger head.
Cross:
This technique usually features a change in colour or shading halfway down the picture to draw the viewers eye into the centre as seen with a Thor comic book
spoof of the Jaws poster.
L:
The L composition has the viewers attention by framing the picture with certain aspects in an L shape seen here with Psylocke and her sword posed to create an L shape.
