Hi there everybody! I'm new to the forum and this is my first submission, love all your work and I'm super exicited to be here!

@hayleyannececil Beautiful! I love the softness of it. Still I prefer the ones with lines, it ads a little bit more readability to it. Maybe you can tone them down even more, for instance on the left foot (also the tangent there makes it a bit less clear).
Very nice work!

@Katherine First of all, it looks awesome and I’m in line with Kevin and Samu, I personally very much like this style and I think there is a market for it. Maybe it has not that "cuteness" that most children books have but that does not mean that all characters have to be cute to like and bond with them (although it really helps!) I agree also what @NessIllustration said about the expression, she looks now blank to the ground, more expression in combination with gesture makes your character alive and likable. The story itself can really help with that too, but then you have to show a sequence of images and maybe a model sheet. I think children books can be very arty and abstract as long you take the reader (adult and child) into your world. Good luck!
