When illustrating or designing for that matter you need to pay attention to how shapes either positive or negative associate with each other. Some artists lack this level of detail and it shows in their work. Others who make a habit of isolating these trouble areas and fixing them visually increase the effectiveness and quality of their work.

Like anything creative the more you do this the better you’ll become over time. Get in the habit of critiquing your own work and looking for these areas that will draw the viewers eye away from what it should be looking at. Overall your art will become more balanced and refined when you can train your eye to spot ‘Visual Tension’.
