          hi @pagurcia, thanks for sharing this! I know how it can feel to share your work here (imposter syndrome). I never feel up to the level of artwork that is posted here.

          Congrats on the book! Looks like a very fun concept and I love the nuances in the hair! Hope it sells well πŸ™‚ Good luck!

                @Sofie-Schollaert Yep, incredibly humbling seeing such awesome art and deep knowledge here but making a concerted effort to throw my work in the ring and hope for improvement and growth and get over the "fear". You should post up your work, so far you all have been incredibly encouraging! πŸ™‚

                  Such a fun idea for a children's book, and I feel like you did such a great job of depicting the hair. I love the contrast of the warm hair color to the cool background. Everything pops real nicely πŸ™‚ Something about the first page feels different to me than the other pages- too me it doesn't pop quite as much as the other images, and I think it may be that there's a little too much black used to create shadows?? To me it feels like using more blues and purples would give your page some great color while still helping the reader see that the boy is entering a dark room. Just an idea πŸ™‚ And you did such a great job of the images on page 18 and 19 I like the energy you created by giving us various close ups of his hair running a-muck! Great job, and best wishes!

                    @cam-royce that is a GREAT point. That spread has all the legal jargon and junk on the left half so thats the reason for the large dark space. Ill try adjusting the shadows to match the purples and colors of the β€œdark” on the rest of the pages. THANKS!

                      @pagurcia that would make for a great movie. Sorta like Inside Out. Congrats on the book! To finish a project like that is a huge accomplishment.
