      Your image a so cute, I love them.

      Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

          These are awesome (as always!). I love your compositions and would love to see this printed and on the shelves!

          The one thing about the characters (especially the boy) is the horizontal band of red going across their face. I like adding the rosy cheeks and nose, but it's just too even and looks like a stripe on them. Maybe break that shape up and lighten it just a tad. Don't want to make it look like they are hitting a few beers before going sledding! hehe!

          Really great! love the work you are doing. : )

            Wow @Lee-White thank you so much!! Your encouragement means a lot to me. I will definitely take your advice on the character's red faces! Though a few beers before sledding sounds like an awesome idea just not for a PB ;D! LOL

                  Wow! I'm a little late to comment on this, but I must say these are fantastic! I love how dynamic they are, the expressions, colors, everything!

                  There might be two things I would point out (keeping in mind that I am far from being a professional illustrator)

                  1. I agree with the first image not fitting perfectly with the others... maybe it is the color, but I think it is mostly the contrats. Your darks aren't as dark as with the other images. I think you might have toned it down on purposed because of the snow, but I would still try it with a little more contrast
                  2. On the third image, the feet of the little boy jumping on his father doesn't read very well, especially the one right around the neck. Maybe if you would push the leg out a little more to the side ?

                  But other than that, I just love it! I love the dad unshaven beard and I LOVE the cat!!!

                      @NoWayMe Thanks so much for your kind words! And thanks for the feedback about the color and his foot. I can make some adjustments on that to help it read better!
