Even though I liked the first one where penguin was sad and unaware of what was about to happen to him, I thought that this one said more about him. All characters can be sad at one point or another but not all characters can react the way he is reacting. This option says a lot more about his personality than the first one.
I know I am not writing a book here and this is just a postcard but in my opinion, illustrations should speak more than what is at the surface. They should say something not only about the story and what is happening, but also about the characters themselves.
I began to play a bit more with the composition. I want my postcard to be horizontal so I started thinking where my name and title would go. I still have to play with the type and see which one I like best.
I will leave this for now and start doodling a few sketches for the back of the postcard. Hopefully I will post those soon.
It's important for me to have the idea of the whole postcard nailed down first before going any further.

Thank you so much!! Sarah :)
This has been a great series, Alicia! I like how you explained why you are going with certain choices. Even more, it makes me feel like I'm on the right track when designing my own promo card. :D
Thanks for making these posts. Never having created a postcard before I'm learning a lot from you! :)
I have to read back on part 1 and 2, but I really enjoyed reading about your thought process in this post. Really, really helpful!
So fun to see your sketches. Love the way you plan out your drawings.
Thank you so much you guys! I'm glad you are enjoying these posts. :o)
