is that the hunchback of notre dame?. your design needs more work. perhaps make the piles of books all visible. His hair needs so work but I love his feet and socks.

Nice idea! I would like to see it with some faded colors and better outlines!

If you have got time please comment my updated design

thanks!

work on the outline on the right, it doesnt match with the left one. i love the fact that the kid is wearing socks, its very cute and endearing. try cleaning up the faraway books - give them outlines, and maybe add a splash of color to one or two of them. the background color sort of washes out the design, is there some way you can change that? good job striking the happy medium between too full and too empty. i really like this one, symbolically and artistically - good work!

if you have some time, please score and comment on my submission… thanks!!!:

Definitely fix that hard outline along the right.
