      @theprairiefox Thank you for the feedback! My thinking on the Toucan is that he is the part of the story that i would add as an illustrator that is not in the text - In this particular panel he would be given equal weight to Clyde and Bongo - the bird would be in every panel as a minor element until the last where he would be prominent again where Bongo is wondering how he would get back ..as he looks thoughtfully at the now indignant Toucan. Where bongo gets the feather that he uses to escape Clyde seemed like a fun idea. That was my thinking anyways 🙂 I really appreciate the feedback!
      @Jeremy-Ross Thank Jeremy!

        I think it all looks fantastic and the leaves being more sketchy dont bother me. What bothers me is the crocodiles mouth. It seems like its made out of rubber with no underlying bone structure in it. This is coming too late to fix it anymore, but for next time, I would make the mouth more natural, as everything else is drawn with reference to reality.

              Its better, but still distorted as if some one is peeling the top and bottom jaw open of a rubber toy. Both sides of the jaws should be basically straight with just a curvy edge on the mouthline.

                The monkey and toucan are spot of. I love the little cheeky smile on the monkey.

                  @MirkaH Thank You Mirka! I definitely appreciate your input - i am going to leave it a bit rubbery ..i feel like it is a bit too real without it - thank you again - it is definitely better than it was 🙂
