These are so good! I think my favorite is 1 (because it has the strongest contrast between monkeys and bg), but... I like how 2 has a "greener" background since green is obvs an important color in the story. That being said, Oz is a very whimsical setting, so you definitely could swing with the more saturated colors on this one.

@Kumica-Truong-0 I think it's looking great. But I think you should look out for that right hind leg and the fish bowl. They are creating a bit of a tangent.

@Coley please post photos here so I can see your progress!!!

That goes for anyone 🙂 I'd really love to see what you're making! (Realizing this is not everyone's priority) 😁

Hi Aisleen, I would definitely go with #3. it has beautiful composition and the characters are leading you "into" the Book.
Cant wait to see your update!

These are really good. I absolutely love the gesture and expression of the lion! My only suggestion would be to research the descriptions of the characters from the book. I could be wrong, but I think in the book the scarecrow is wearing all blue...or mostly blue. I'm not sure if that kind of detail will figure into the judging, but I think it could. Good luck!

Hi Rachel, I think that framing really gives that classical look to the cover, but maybe the vertical lines are a bit distracting, especially in the top part, you could try a version without them.
Cant wait to see your update!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz @Lucky-Platt Thank you both!! I'm glad the the bricks are working 🙂

Hi, #2 would be the win for me. It reminds me of the old picture books that I had when I was a kid.
Cant wait to see your update!

Wow so many great comments, Thank you everyone!!!
I started to clean up nr. 4, it was definitely the most effective of them all.
I will leave it as it is for a couple of hours and start working on something else, and later, with a fresh perspective I will start to paint.
Cant wait to share the process with all of you, Thank you!

@Ari-Sorokin frustration is part of the business 😅 you just have to keep on painting. No matter how much experience you have there always be better and worse paitings.

Thank you! @Kevin-Longueil yeah this illustration is in kind of a tough place right now. Everything is subjective at this point and it’s difficult to know what to settle on, haha.

I have been wanting to do a draw 50 things challenge for a while. I was reading through Genesis and I had this idea for a Children’s book on Creation. Here is day day 3 imagined as an illustration. Bonus points if you can recognize all the plants.

I prefer the contrast of the white text, but if you wanted to go with he darker text, I would suggest finding a way to make it 'pop' more/have more contrast with the background.

(Also don't forget to add the author's name if you go with the white 😉 )

Looking forward to the final!

@TessaW Those are awesome. thank you for your time and patience. Thank you for being patient with me responding. I just happen to not even see the notification for when you did comment. Yeah I should have done something with the eye and the lettering. I might have naturally fixed the nose focused in my submission. I really enjoy honest feedback and enjoy reading critiques throughout the forum to learn what i can. Thank you. Much love. ONE!

One thing that I think is throwing it off a bit is how the limbs are positioned and where the muscles would land. Like on Deadpools left arm for example looks like it's bent awkwardly. also watch where shapes should or shouldn't overlap. Don't know if I'm explaining myself very well so I hope that makes sense. I like the designs though.

I am another client of this site so here I saw different articles and posts posted by this site, I inquisitive more enthusiasm for some of them trust you will give more data on this points in your next articles. Slate can be made into roofing slates, a type of roof shingle, or more specifically a type of roof tile, which are installed by a salter. Slate has two lines of break ability - cleavage and grain - which make it possible to split the stone into thin sheets. When broken, slate retains a natural appearance while remaining relatively flat and easy to stack. Roofers in Glasgow A series of "slate booms" occurred in Europe from the 1870s until the First World War following improvements in railway, road and waterway transportation systems. Slate is particularly suitable as a roofing material as it has an extremely low water absorption index of less than 0.4%, making the material waterproof. In fact, this natural slate, which requires only minimal processing, has the lowest incorporated energy of all roofing materials. Natural slate is used by building professionals as a result of its beauty and durability. Slate is incredibly durable and can last several hundred years.

@MyArt-Multiverse I like the idea. it's a unique spin on the story. I'd like to see where you take it.
