@kim-hunter Oh, you're so right! This detail would make it so much more believable! Thank you so much, Kim!

Hi, @adam-thornton-0 ! Thanks a lot for your feedback and ideas. I will try to paint Santa dark on light. I like your idea with hard edges. I really feel like the objects are being lost on the background. I do need to push this more. I would love to see your Santa's factory illustration too!

lovely update AND I just noticed the elfy slippers on hedgehog. FUN!
