I would add more space above and to the right and left - I'm uncomfortable with that elbow being cut off because there's no motion from that side of the image, so it seems like the giraffe boy should just be sitting up, so I'd rather see his whole figure. Not centered, I like him on the left where he is, but just fully there.Nechamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596123991972762340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-50736476920194191822010-02-09T19:29:29.816-05:002010-02-09T19:29:29.816-05:00yep!

I really like the giraffe in particular, the overalls are nice as well.
