        Here is a different concept, doesn't feel as flat to me, but my husband liked the first better. What do you guys think?

          I prefer the second one. Looks like the children are more staggered. Some in the foreground, some in the mid and some in back. Hence not the flat of all in a line. Is the one child in back of Santa sticking is tongue out? If so I like it.

                          @bharris Oh, this is so beautifully drawn and I'm sure it is going to be amazing!! Great work! 🙂 I am really looking forward to seeing the coloured version now.

                          The one thing I think...maybe it's too late to change....but I would just love to see some of those kids with little reindeer antler headbands! It would be so cute and IMO would help the storytelling part, that the kids are meant to be reindeer (and not just kids messing around in the snow).

                                  @Dulcie Thank you so much! I love that idea and I can see a few of the kids that would be excellent targets for antlers, also it'll add another holiday detail. 🙂

                                  @Kris-Knight I'm a little OC with the lines... I tried so hard not to zoom in to clean them up perfectly, it can be a time waster!

                                  @Joy-Heyer @shinjifujioka @Chip-Valecek @Thrace-Shirley-Mears Thank you so much everyone! I''ll post updates soon!

                                      The second one is more interesting and active. But they both look really great , IMHO. Really nice work.

                                        Hey all, finished the tone and it was my first time working like this. I feel pretty good about it, but is there anything that is obviously wrong or that may need more lightening or darkening? Thanks for the feed back!

                                          @bharris This is such a good drawing. Its so interesting to look at with only B/W tones added to it. The painting is sure to be great once some color has added to it.

                                          If I was being really critical I would say that there needs to be some stronger contrast between Santa and the kid standing right behind him. Also, there is a tangent formed between the one horn of the set that kid is wearing and the edge of Santa's belt. The middle ground and foreground all seem to be of the same contrast and value. That front tree on the right side needs to be a darker value to pull it forward and push the middle ground back. Overall there needs to be, in my opinion, some stronger areas of contrast and value to really punch out certain characters and props.

                                          This could be one of the winners!

                                            @Rob-Smith Thank you Rob! I didn't see that with the belt! I will work on that contrast, it looks kind of dull as is! I was struggling with that and wondering how the color would look when laid over something really dark. I usually work straight from color and not in gray scale, but I'm liking the effect more!
