            Thanks everybody for your input on my thumbnails. I finally got a chance to sketch it out I would love your insight before I take it to paint. Thanks!

              My thought is to keep it to two colors gray blue and salmon, the boat will be salmon like the krill, the idea being the whale thinks his boat is a large krill

                @lmrush what a fun composition. I just don't like that middle whale going straight up and down. A little angle would be nice I think. Also I what do you think about that middle whale being the one to hold up the boat. It feels a little weird that we can't see the rest of the whale that has the boat.

                  @Rich-Green I don't see the Lee/David course. What is the title? I just redrew all my book pages and need to redo them again, I think....AAAgghhh!!! As my son says, they look a little flat and the eyes need more expression than just being circles......He has a pretty good eye and I always ask for his opinions on my work because I know he will be honest and he seems to get children's books. If I could wow him, I'd feel so accomplished 🙂

                    I like the top right one. I think the wave is balanced just right with the position of the whale, etc.

                              Whale value study. Thank you for everyone's input, I took the tail away I think it reads better now, I would love other suggestions for improvement before I take it to color-Thanks everyone!

                                      @lmrush I like the bottom middle. The complementary colors are working really well together.

                                          I like the bottom middle too. The oranges and blues have great contrast. Great lighting!
