Final Line and Value Study for Revised Composition

 Initially I was going to have one single home made of butter on top of a large stack of pancakes that looked like it was about to collapse. The art director thought this composition focused too much on the pancakes and less on the home, which was the key element to get the message of foreclosure across. I solved this problem by having a lower stack of pancakes and more homes, to make it seem like a neighborhood.
