@Yiming-Wu Thank you! I designed the pieces on my iPad and cut them out using a Cricut machine. Then I painted or stamped the final details.

I am experimenting in a scribbly style. Procreate. Any comments are welcome.

@R-Fey-Realme thanks for sharing your pins!

@Sarah-VanDam Hi Sarah! I really appreciate your effort. Overall, I love how helpful everyone is and how they want to solve this puzzle.🙏

I use a tablet and pen, which are connected to the computer (XP-Pen), some cheapest version of it 😊 . And on the computer, I have Autodesk Sketchbook free version.

You have some good suggestions for this. At first, I also considered having just a few colors or something similar in the background. But I wanted to challenge myself and try to make the figures in the center stand out even if there are other colors in the background. It still needs a lot of practice.

I like that the griffin's foot is broken on the left side, it stands out much better than the original. 🙂

Thank you again for all your help. When I find the time, I'll try to use all these useful tips and suggestions.😊 🙏

@makekong oh that's a really cool way to describe it! Thanks!

Designed a Harry Potter-themed college-style sweatshirt for my wife for our 2nd anniversary. Considering making a full set of these designs now.

@J-Morgan-Looney I LOVE Guznag's work! I have been following him for a while and I love how his lines are so expressive. I can see now a bit of that influence in your work here.

Hi there mate!

Regarding "how to make the hair look more 'tangled' in the branches", I believe have a bit more pull should deliver that idea. Like if you have a pile of tangled headphone wires or girl's long hair, to really tell if it's tangled or not, you kinda need to pull those strings, so at least some of those strings might need to have tension on it (pulled straight while tightly wrapped around a few branches randomly maybe).

Made a few quick sketches since I was just coming off today's drawing session. But stylistically since your image is pretty illustrative, I'm not sure if this would indeed be a good idea, but you might be able to experiment with it a little bit.

Gesture wise, those strands of tangled hair might need to go to the back/neck area of the skull otherwise the head probably will need to tilt upwards since there's a pulling force... But this is really me nip picking.

Hope to see the final results 😃

Good job exercising! Keep it up mate!

@R-Fey-Realme adorable! ❤️

@AustinShurtliff thank you Austin!

@Larue Thank you! I think I agree with the color needing to be limited. Great point!

@Holly-Fox I agree with @kayleenartlover. Your character is much better in the original. A lot of her personality and apprehension is lost in the new version.

Also, you have added so much more detail and color to the new illustration that it overwhelms the eyes. There is no flow or focal point any longer. The bright pink on the left and on the door draw your eye in those directions. In your original, you start with the girl, and her eyes lead you to the next area (the ghost), and give you a path around the room.

Hope you don't mind, but I did a quick draw over of what I think might work better in your original.

I would move the balloon (and add more) and the presents to the table where the mouse is as your "destination" for the readers' eyes as they move around the room. You need to have the cat looking in the direction of the girl, and maybe hidden a bit more. Lastly, you need to add a bit of the crayon-like texture to the curtain so it looks more a part of the whole composition.

I don't remember what the guys said about your art, so my comments/suggestions are only based on what I see here. Hope it helps!

@H-Moon Thanks H! Your concept idea is very creative! I'm generally more drawn towards art that communicates negative emotions like loss, loneliness etc through metaphor, but i can see how an uplifting message would be more popular with a wider audience

Cute illustration! I like the options @Jeremy-Ross gave you. I'll throw out a few more:

We are Better Together
Take a Walk in Your Neighborhood
What a Wonderful World

I know you said you want to sell it, I also think it would be great for a public building like a library, a community center, or community service organization.
