      Hi all, sorry I don't get on as often as I'd like. Here's my rough sketch for this month's topic. In my story, Lucy's magic tool box is her toy box, and she's using a magic wand to clean up her room. I wish I'd had one of those when I was a kid. Who'm I kidding? I want one now...
      Comments and/ or suggestions always welcome.

          I love this concept! Brilliant idea and I think the way you've composed it illustrates the idea perfectly 🙂 Will look forward to seeing it finished!

                Great idea! Who hasn't dreamed of getting the job done with a little magic. Even at my age I look for ways of getting out to the hard work. One thought, what if you turned the toy box toward the boy? 1459828291403-april-3rd-thurs2.jpg

                  This is lots of fun! I do feel like the near leg of the bed is sitting right on the edge of your canvas. I'd say bring the bed up a bit, but you could try cropping it more and see how that works.

                    I love this and yet another idea that could win! This is really nice, one small idea is to turn the box towards her so when the viewer gets there, their eye is shifted back into the page. Where is the cat/pet dragon/rodents? He/they could be hanging on trying not to get sucked up into the magic of it all...

                      Cool idea! It took me a while to understand that it was toys and they were going into the box. I guess this will become clearer when you work in the details. Maybe you could see if there is a way to show that the stream is going into the box, and not flying away?

                        @Rebecca-Hirsch man I wish I had one of those when I was kid! I love the movement that you have managed to capture in your drawing

                          Excellent idea and concept, and I love how Lucy's balanced on the bedpost!

                            Thanks, and some great suggestions! That's why I wanted to post this so rough, plenty of rome to play with it yet. I appreciate all the feedback.

                              @Russ-Van-Dine A pet clinging to the post might be just what this needs to help show the viewer which way everything is flowing, thanks!

                                  This turned out great! I love the addition of the cat, very funny!
