      Butterflies --> 4 wings

      I think you can use @Charlie-Eve-Ryan Idea but giving to both front wings the same "arm" aspect.

      .Another solution is to change the point of view and use the front legs as armas.

          @Beatriz-"Bett" On the left is what the illustration looks like now. What do you think if I flip it, like on the right?

            If someone could let me know which version they like better I will appreciate it. Picture 1 on the left or Picture 2 on the right? Thanks.

              @Beatriz-"Bett" Hi Beatriz, I would probably go with the one on the right...since the butterflies action reads left to right, the way you read a book. Hope that helps.

              Then again if the monkey in the tree is your main character then having him fly left to right is better and you should go with the left one.

              So really it depends on the story. Does the monkey land on the next page after the page turn or the butterfly?

              Happy Creating

                  Nice Beatrice! I'd prefer the right one as well!

                      Hi Beatriz,

                      I know you've been working on this one for a while - I just saw it...here's another option for waving...It might communicate your idea quicker?

                      Nice work!
