Process on work for my portfolio (ongoing)

Between work for fun - challange #aggressivesloth by @jimbobdrawingshow on instagram.
Hyrax taking its time eating leaves in the mean time sloth is going slowly in aggressive mode -
I am as @Aleksey patreon from mitchleeuwe and he gave me feedback to try my composition to show from lower angle. Here than two rough sketches in comparison.

@MichaelaH P.S. Your signature is so perfect for the childrenβs book market

@BichonBistro Thank You, I love mouse so

The publishers I am in contact with like my animals, but say I still have to work on human/kids, so last week and this week I did the daily exercise:

-
@MichaelaH I will always love your imaginative animals best but your humans are fabulous too!
-
@BichonBistro Thank You so much for liking my work
-
Did they specify what you needed to improve with your humans? I think some of them are pretty good, and that last one is great! Life drawing really helps this stuff, if you can't get to a class, just get to a busy area and do some gestures for 30-60 minutes. You will be amazed how much you can pick up and how it translates to your work after a little while.

@Amanda-Jean I almost never draw ppl, only animals, so I think they didn't like this less amount of ppl I ever drew to that point, I liked to draw animals more, but now I like ppl also. I never really exercised ppl before. I am going to frankfurt book fair this october and I will get feedback there, I will take my new ppl illustrations also with me.

Process on August Superstition
I didn't have much time for this one. At first the storm was coming from left to right, but after I got some some feedback I changed it, because I wanted the first focus to be on the bird and the calm scene. -
@MichaelaH Hey Michaela. What brilliant work. It's so insightful to see your process! Your facial expressions are fantastic and there is so much fun kids will love in your illustrations.
