      Further content for social media marketing 😉 - This is the line-work for my Happy New Year illustration. Suggestions and comments very welcome before I go to paint!

        This looks so nice! I almost want to colour it now. BTW, what is the kid reaching for?

                  @smceccarelli ooh I love it. Don't have skills to paint like that digitally, so happy to enjoy yours. I like the baby eye better on this finished piece than the sketch.

                    @smceccarelli I could look at your work for hours Simona - it is always so wonderful. From the great character designs, to the colors, to your rendering. I am just a huge fan of your work!

                      Fantastic, especially your color choices, I held my breath as I scrolled down to see the coloring! Amazing you should be so proud of yourself

                        I love your old man! He has just splendid age-signifying lines and structure. Marvelous. The rendering of your folds and volumes is excellent as well, even those patterns! Well done.
                        I would change the baby new year's face though. Since you have such realistic age on the old man, I would love to see more baby-like features on the kiddo.

                        The lower you move the eyes and mouth etc on a child, the younger they tend to look. I also made him bald... I had a kid with lots of hair, he freaked me out 😛 but I still love him.
                        Overall, I just love the piece, I just thought I would chime in because the piece is very much worth conversation.

                          @Bob-Crum Thanks Bob! Point very well taken!! It is now out of my schedule, so will need to live like that, but I really appreciate your comment and you have a very good point! Thanks for taking the time to paint-over: it does look cool!

                            @smceccarelli You know it! A pleasure to paint over parts of very good pieces.
