        @Melissa_Bailey Great! Thank you for the feedback. I'll move the characters around and good call on the parchment. Thanks again!

          @JessicaLinnEvans if it helps, here are some visual examples:

          The image as it is now, with a spread template placed on top, to get an idea of where the gutter, margins, trim, and bleed will be. (Bleed is pink, "unsafe" areas are blue, along with the gutter. Horizontal and vertical blue lines divide each page into thirds.)

          Here's what the composition would look like with those adjustments:

          And here's a way you might consider playing with the characters and title -- have them interacting. Adding more trees might make the scene more cohesive and balanced (which is what you were planning anyway and I think it's a good idea).

          Hope these visuals help!

                @JessicaLinnEvans looking nice!

                Is the title one word? You don't have to show us if you're trying to keep it confidential, but it might be a good idea to actually test out the title on the parchment, to see if you have enough room.

                You have space to expand it horizontally, if need be.

                😊👍

                  Wow!

                  Very excellent work and inspirational. It looks like the adjustments you made really enhanced the illustration. Nice work!

                    @Melissa_Bailey Hi! I added more words to the title. Not sure what it will be yet. 🙂

                    Also, I put a bird on it (because I'm from Portlandia, LOL!)

                          @JessicaLinnEvans Really lovely job on this Jessica! Isn't @Melissa_Bailey so helpful?! 😁 she just helped me to work through the color composition of a piece and it made all the difference.

                          I'm excited to see this cover spread in full color 🙂

                            @PenAndrew Thank you! Sometimes I like my pencil drawings better than my finished work. Ha!
