Right Place For Signature?

There have been paintings (yes, I actually have painted) where I spent hours fretting over where to put the signature.

I hate signature angst. It's right up there with dentist appointments or other life dreads. The best way I settled on was to subdue it by using a paint color only slightly different in hue, saturation or intensity from the spot where you are placing the signature.

I tried to make my signature a design element once, but a potential buyer just did not see it that way. Not famous enough, I guess. Famous people probably can get away with garish signatures, but us peons have to hide them.

i always put mine on the lower left, but where you have it is fine. i've seen people put it right on the subject, which i find ugly. any place on the bottom should be fine.

I try to keep my signatures as innocuous as possible but they don't always come out that way. I usually put them in the corner and in a color that doesn't clash with the color I'm signing on. However on a drawing like you posted where the white of the paper is all that you have to sign on it's much hard to minimize the impact of the signature, I guess you could use a gray pen rather than black.
