Excellent, great image ... I so remember BLOOMers. They were the bottom half of sport uniform in the old days.

Ms. Elle,

Hi. I like your quick doodle, as you call it, with all those flowery garments, and the sun (maybe fearing the bird will dirty all of them!) It's a charming comp and I like the fact that the framing cuts some of the laundry. Nice take on the subject.

I was reading your "plea" for honest input valued, but I don't know if you meant for all of your images or for last week's fragile baby only. So, this time, I am taking the freedom to say something about this piece. :)

You created a nice texture effect on the garments (the shading and shadows on the fabrics). I think if the sky mimic that effect, it'd integrate better with the overall illustration, and especially with both sun and cloud. For the same reason, I'd think the writing bloomers, stands out too much. Maybe you should move it outside the comp, or create a cloudy texture for it that ties more with the rest.

I don't know, just a thought.

See you around,
ciao
