Wow this will be so great, love the story and composition

@Braden-Hallett That was so fun to read, great expressions

@Nathalie-Kranich Both of them are so great, but slowly I am liking the second idea, because the girl is not like Tomb Rider adventure girl but a normal girl having adventure in a house of explorer grandma. Maybe it is the hut in the above picture.
What about changing the eyes of the girl on the bottom illustration, that she is looking down to the book title, because now she is looking up.

@LauraA Really great studies Laura

Wow it looks awesome. I like the 1 color study, maybe because it is more cool, cold in color.

@Braden-Hallett Wow I love this one so much, great illustration for autumn season.

Wow so lovely, I love both of them, I cannot deside, which one I like more. Maybe the upper one, because I like to see the animals also...

and there went my favorite one...I loved the idea, because it was different to the other in aproach...Great work Lee.

For me I prefer ebook, it is quick and I can also listen to it on my mobile phone.
For children only printed book.

@todd-wilson Welcome here in forum. To Your great sketch, I liek it a lot. Only thing I see is the tail the boy is sitting on, If the tail is on its side, than the spikes should have different angle. Also it doesn't seem like the tail is from the big monster or is it? Also the small monster is almost on the same line like the stroke from the big monster (on the left, the horn is almost the tummy stroke of the big monster). The right middle monster, I think I would like to see one of his hands, mybe skretching his head? or only lines, taht he has hands down the body. I don't know if it will be not too stuffed with the fireplace than, maybe making it smaller or the canvas little bit bigger. Loooking forward to see the next stage.
