The cover of the book

Hello, friends! I finished the cover for the book and now my work can be considered completely finished. It turned out not the first time, at first we thought to make the cover like this:

or like this:

but then it was decided to redo the cover completely, drawing a lot of items with children's dreams.

I drew first pencil sketch, then sent it to the customer.

Some adjustments were made: we decided to add some items from the book, as well as to remove the compass from the hands and add a flower.

Then I started coloring. It turned out like this:

But the customer did not like a couple of things: the composition of the front cover (too scattered) and hands (too scary)
I corrected those moments and it turned out like this:

This time the customer liked everything. I was happy!)
Further work with the book will be in the layout and search for publishing, but it will not be me. Thanks for attention! I hope you were interested in the history of the book cover, I will be glad to your comments!
Very soon I will begin to illustrate another book. And I decided to talk about the stages of the process.
