Baroque Violinist - Stephen [Freeman]

From Draw Like Da Vinci, p. 55: Placement is the art of Feng Shui on the page. Placement is critical, especially if you are making a compositional study … The bow plays on the strings at the golden section, and the figure is placed off-centre to allow space for the direction of the action. The corners of the music stand direct the eye of the viewer back to the violinist. Avoid drawing details at the edge of a page — allow your lines to fade away at the boundaries.
