12 USE THE WHITE BACKGROUND

A white or minimalist background can actually add to the strength of an illustration by creating a stark contrast between it and the main subject, focusing your eye on where it needs to look instead of being distracted by visual clutter. It’s a simple yet effective way to make your illustration more eye-catching. The point is not to fear the white background, but to incorporate it into your art to alleviate the pressure of having to fill the entire page just for the sake of it.
