23. This original one is even better than the first one you posted

Good for your husband to suggest you keep it.

As far as doing a children’s book I think you’re quite ready to do one now. If you need to paint people then set yourself the goal to learning how. Just draw and draw and paint and paint until you get it done. The fastest way to success in art is constant practice. Use the same technique you used in making the mama and baby owl. Very simple line features in a minimalist style (just draw simple eyes, noses , mouths and brows and hair). A light wash to depict race, and voilá!

All us artists suffer from indecision and doubts! Even accomplished ones. It’s vital to know the impact of our art as well as why it impacts like that. Whenever I get a real critique I always see my work through the eyes of others and I’m even surprised by it. The artist never sees everything they do in their work. The critiques are absolutely necessary, just to know what you’ve depicted!
