The confidence that attaching a small piece of plastic to the spokes of your bike can bring is titanic.

The white space works wonderful for that. As is she would be right in the fold. If by chance you wanted it as just an illustration for possibly framing I might consider bringing the girl up so that her head would slightly overlap the boys foot and shifted to the left.<br /><br />Your work is just wonderful and really don't need much direction and I know most people don't give critiques, but I like that you are asking and I would hope someone would do the same for my work as well so I could improve and work harder. Thank you for your wonderfully kind comments on my illustration. Here's to being published someday.Debra Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188340114107079205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461198241914317094.post-75242398721187896202009-08-06T09:24:18.849-07:002009-08-06T09:24:18.849-07:00Came back to say - FYI - I'm giving your wonde...Came back to say - FYI - I'm giving your wonderful blog the Bella Sinclair Award.Art Fan Akohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627224482224684256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461198241914317094.post-385317271379909492009-08-06T07:25:56.698-07:002009-08-06T07:25:56.698-07:00I have an award for you, my dear.
