      @jenn I couldn’t get it to work including more details for this particular page and it to still look interesting. Many thumbnails would’ve made either the animals hard to see or the people hard to see. If this leads to a book I would definitely do that as a setup before this one.

        @kayleenartlover love the updated bus design and how the story is progressing! I like the small colored bus in your thumbnails above. There is a lot of character in that drawing with it being slightly skewed in the jump.

            How does this look? I tried to exaggerate the tires so it wouldn’t look stiff. Any tips on the line weight? Should I make any lines thicker?

              Here’s the colored version of the bus. If it doesn’t need any changes, then all that’s left is the animals driving/riding it and other details like in the thumbnail.

                Should I move the back right tire where it was supposed to go perspective-wise or would that make it look more stiff? Does it look like there is movement happening if I leave it the way it is? I plan on adding a hill below it like it's catching air going over it.

                    I think it should look a bit like this, its off the ground so the wheels are not compressed against it

                      @makekong I haven't drawn the ground part yet, but it's gonna be kinda bouncing up, but I'll draw a sketch to compare

                        @makekong oh wait do you mean the tires are actually lower than the body of the bus?

                          @kayleenartlover yes because the springs extend like a frog jumping

                              I'm back at this project again. How do the animal sketches look? I want the bus to look full of excited animals making a getaway to go on their own field trip. Do the sizes of the animals look correct?

                                I’m so close to finishing this… How does the lettering look? Should I make the drawing bigger and have the road drawn to the bottom of the page, or keep it a centered vignette?
