When working on your narrative illustration its very important to note the point of view. POV is apart of the composition process when making any illustration and its very effective when doing a narrative illustration i think. Everything is up to us so we have to imagine where and which spot we want the POV to be at. Important things to note when considering POV is an eye-level shot, close-ups, long shots, medium shots, worms-eye view, and birds-eye view. The eye level is probably the first thing that has to be established when doing your narrative illustration. The difference in eye level will make our viewer relate to the illustration in different ways. We also have an emotional response when looking at a certain POV, we can feel scared, or feel welcomed, or unwelcomed, by an illustration for example. And furthermore a worms-eye view can make us feel little and focused more on everything above us, forcing our eyes to travel upwards. Whereas a birds-eye view makes us feel big and strong almost, forcing us to look down upon things in the illustration.
