Art Book Composition: Sketch vs. Final

Before I put all my drawings together, I sketched out how I want the book to look like.

These are just the rough ideas of what piece I want to put first and next. This gave me a rough idea of how many pieces of drawing I want to do as well as how long it might take me. At that time, I was struggling on what I should draw and this helped me a lot in terms of visualising my thoughts and how the overall book is going to be.

In the end, the book didn’t turn out like the rough composition. I added a divider/foreword that tells the audience what the book is going to be before I present my drawings. I also added an extra page before the end so it looks cleaner. 

This is the final composition that I ended up with:
