      @ArtistErin Very cute illustration! I love this little moment of the mother witch finding the daughter brewing up something.

      Try out the rosy cheeks and see how they look.

      A thought on the frog, would you consider darkening it and the eye jar? I like the detail on them, but the details and light might distract from the area of focus on the girl.

      It's a really fun scene!

        @Stephanie-H Haha, nice one! To me the mother looks like 'oh my what is she doing!'. A bit like finding your kid with a knife in the kitchen. The moment before she rushes forward to pull her away from the possibly exploding kettle. I also like the details of the spiders and worms, and of course the frog and eyeballs. It really sets the Witch setting. Somehow looking at the girl it seems to me that the glow of the potion is stronger on her dress and the edges of the hat than her face. That confused me a bit and makes me wonder where the light comes from and why her face is not more lit.

          @susanhowarth-art Thank you so much for your insight! I love the element of surprise on Mama's face, yet if I wanted to take this further I could add all the emotion of her being disappointed with the mess eventually:)

            @Stephanie-H Yes good catch, I darkened the frog and the jar of eyeballs, that helped to draw more attention to the little witch. Thank you!!! 🙂

              @Chantal-Goetheer Yes absolutely, when I added more depth to her face it looks so much more engaging and makes better sense. It helps to have other eyes on this stuff! I think I was afraid of doing too much and it turned out it wasn't enough until you caught it!! 🙂
