      I think B! I think part of the reason I feel itโ€™s successful for this prompt is because it doesnโ€™t have background information, so the edges of the illustration are really interesting with the white negative spaces coming in.
      Either way, these are all so good ๐Ÿ˜Š.

          Yay, thanks for weighing in, everyone! I am also voting for B, maybe adding in some elements from C. Thanks for the validation! Onward! ๐Ÿ™‚

            I'm narrowing down a composition! Here's another page of roughs. I think that A is the clearest one, but if can use value to control the focus in D, I think it would be great to show as much as I can about who the yeti is and what her world is like. What do you vote?

            (side note: this past week or two is the first time I've used a forum like this to share advice on a WIP. I am LOVING all the constructive feedback and advice from this group. Thank you all for being so welcoming ๐Ÿ™‚ ).

              @Valerie-Light I think they would all work well - I do like B the most for some reason...maybe the cleaner silhouette? - if you are going to have the puppy i think i like the position in A and B best

                @Valerie-Light I really like both C and D. I gravitate towards D because the puppy is so happy. I also really like the pots and herbs hanging in the background

                  @Valerie-Light my vote is on A. I love how simple and bare the background is. The Yetiโ€™s silhouette is very clear and just pops right off the page.

                    I vote A. It feels more like a typical spot illustration and keeps the focus on the characters.

                          I like D the most because of the different values in the picture. However I like how the chimney of the stove makes a natural border in image C. Maybe a mix of C and D would be an option? A stove-border like in C would probably mean that composition wise youโ€™d have to ditch the stool with veg om the lower left though. The moving of the dog towards the right lower corner works quite well and makes more of a connection with the yeti this way.

                            Iโ€™m sticking with A because I think itโ€™s the most โ€˜spot illustration-yโ€™ :).

                                  All right, so many of you are encouraging me to do A, and I know that you're right about it being clear and readable and a traditional spot illustration, but something like C looks like so much more fun to me (and maybe a better addition to my portfolio). I decided to try some color roughs on a couple of different composition options.
                                  If you all aren't sick of helping me design this by election, here are 4 variations of how to resolve the environment.

                                    A and d are my faves I feel like with the colored background itโ€™s just a little chaotic, great work though!

                                      I agree with @Asyas_illos , A and D.

                                        @Valerie-Light I still like A. I like the silhouette, without the background it is easy to read. And, is most definitely a spot illustration.

                                          @Asyas_illos I agree with @Valerie-Light that A is the one most like a spot illustration. I think it may be a winner, too. I called the last two so you better listen to me. ๐Ÿ˜‰
