Have the layout decided. Now for bubble and ocean friends to fill in the gaps

[Whitney Simms]

Here is the black and white toile. Yay! What do you think? Any glaring eye sores or gaps that are so distracting that it ruins the pattern. Any good ideas for color scheme?

I love this! The only thing that I see is with the little boy riding the turtle. The line of his bum lines up with the line of the turtle’s shell. Maybe a bit more of a bump there would help to separate the two and make things a little clearer. Really lovely work, can’t wait to see it in color!

Oh wow! This is such a cool pattern. I agree with @sketchbook ...the bum and the edge of the shorts lines up almost perfectly with the turtle shell.

My favorite is the mermaid with long hair in silhouette. The embellishments like the bubbles and coral fill up the spaces nicely.

@shinjifujioka @sketchbook ha! I didn’t even realize about the bum and the turtle shell. I’ll fix that with the color. I’ll make sure his bum is outside the line so it’s not one continuous line. That’s too funny!

Any idea what’s trending in kids clothing colors? But I’ll keep a black and white version and maybe a single color version available.

DONE DONE AND DONE!!!
