        @Squirrelsize The straight edges look nicer to me as the jagged edge is a bit distracting. Good work!

          Added some river rocks! Should I add more?

            I think the composition on the right (with less rocks) is more effective. It leaves a nice amount of negative space for the eye to rest and move a little more freely. For some reason the composition with more rocks diverts my gaze to the top of the hill very quickly. This is really beautiful, I love the colours, and textures.

                Your version with less rocks looks like a finished work to me. So nice. 🙂 Though maybe the value of the bottom of the background trees is a bit strong? This is really looking amazing.

                  @KathrynAdebayo Cool, I'll try lighting up the background trees and see how it looks 🙂

                    Okay! Working on back now. What you all think? I was thinking about putting in some more elements, but I've been finding this piece likes to be simple. Maybe add a bird or two in the branches?

                      @Squirrelsize Beautiful! Your design is very well thought out and very nicely balanced.

                        Yey! I'm getting really excited! This has been a fun piece! Still open to changes however. You all see anything that bothers you that I should change up?

                        These are my edits from the last several post:

                        I lighted up the background trees on the front cover.
                        Switch the willow tree on the back to the right side of the page.
                        Put clothes and a tail on Ratty
