      hello,

      Iam taking part in creation of a book, that will be given to children in hospitals and hospice.

      Its ready to be printed and at this moment, we are gathering money on crowdfunding portal. Anyway collection of money is not going great so i thought to create a pic, that could be posted on Facebook etc (current one is too complicated and it doesn't seem to attract people's attention).

      So what do you think about attached draft? Sorry for polish lettering, but its not relevant here, just wanted to show where i placed it.

      Many thanks for your help! 🙂

          Great project! The image is simple and catchy and I like the color scheme. I would suggest to change his expression though. At the moment I would describe it as "embarrassed". I think a happy, joyful expression may be more fitting. Maybe he could be reading the book and be enthusiast about it?

            I agree with @smceccarelli , open his mouth a little and change the direction of his eye brows and that would change his expression. Simple/quick fix.

                    Definitely much better!! Tips for showing fragility in children (or any character) thin neck and narrow/slumped shoulders compared to the size of the head. Also, the lower the eyes are on the head, the younger a character looks.

                          Done. What you can see on the cover of the book is logo of the action. Again thanks for help guys 🙂 (@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen, @smceccarelli , @Chip-Valecek )

                            Hey, here is another pic from this series. This boy is from orphanage, where we also will be giving the charity books away. What do you think?
                            Quality is low, as its designed for Facebook.

                              It looks really nice. I love how the light is coming from the book. I think it will be a hit!
