Compose Yourselves

I often wonder how I might work if I wasn't so into working digitally. When I do collage style layouts, I don't think of how I might just draw them on a page, but I think now in terms of drawing each piece individually then composing them later as layers in Photoshop or whatever program. It's easier, but maybe that's part of the problem, and I should have the skill to render them all together in a page.
