Hi
Below are my suggestions:The rabbit ears are in an awkward position and cropped off -what reason did you have for not including all of him? Maybe if he was jumping up to get the pocket watch.
The tea pot with the face reminds me more of Beauty and the Beast rather than Alice in Wonderland.
I like how Alice is sitting on the key and looking at the Cheshire cat (which I wish was not so high -same height as the key).
You have a lot of playful elements of the story - I just think you need to focus on 2-3. I like how you have detailed your tree leaves.
What are your plans for the background? -purple right now -with the frame it looks like a world you can step into but that purple is flat/ stops you from going any further.
I definitely struggled in the what "elements" I should include because I just recently finished reading the book and there are so many characters and smaller stories hidden. I will not be finishing it for the contest but am satisfied I have a solid idea (with the elements organised -my drawing is not up to where I want it for this contest).
It is nice Alice will get into the contest - by your interpretation

@Heather-Boyd Thank u for the comment Heather, I will take it on board and do changes for sure!

Hi, I have done a few changes according to your advice, I wonder if it looks any better.
-
@anitabagdi Those areas which you removed things help reduce the distraction and focus on the elements you want. I just noticed how the watch is hanging above the tea cups/ kettle -illustrates "late for tea", I think that's clever -I just wished those two elements were more worked into your piece instead of on the edge - Alice doesn't notice or interact in any way with them. i really like your Alice though if I didn't mention her before -sorry.
And it be really cool to see the title/author included -to ensure you have enough space and still as visually wrapped up nicely.
-
@Heather-Boyd thanks for the helpful comment Heather. I have the finished piece on my computer with the title and author, I can share it as soon as I am at home

Hi guys, I do apologise for not being able to show you the final one, I couldn't even enter last month's competition at the end as I had problems with my computer and couldn't access my work. I just wanted to say I still really appreciate all your input and help with the book cover piece! Thank you.
