Sage advice from professional illustrators:
Do not get caught up in too many specifics about any project ideas. Get the viewer engaged fast, hint at character or idea. You are ultimately trying to get a potential viewer engaged. Let the author solve the rest of the problems...
-Greg Manchess

A simple evocative engaging solution can often trump a giant montage. While sometimes the BIG COMPOSITION solution is perfect, consider ALL options-not just "the kitchen sink" option.

Pick your moment and make everything in service to that moment.
-Rebecca Guay
Also,
Make sure the sketch that you want to put up on the critique wall the first day is a clear and thorough sketch. Meaning, it should not be on a scrap of lined paper, or a half-finished thumbnail in the corner of a sketchbook. They should on decent paper and have a clear line around where you intend the border of the art to be.
