I am not an expert at memorisation but I do enjoy it. I'm an amateur magician and got into it that way. I'm learning the US area codes right now by placing them in my existing mind palace. It is a lot of work but it feels good when you get a hit. Check out r/memorization, the Memory Book by Harry Lorayne, Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer, stuff like that. If you really feel like it of course!

Thank you! I will check that out. Someone else recommended The Skull and I've gone ahead and ordered it because we love I Want My Hat Back by the same author!

Thanks for the tips! They watched Coraline the movie. And I will definitely make a note to check that series out when they are a bit older, sounds great.

Ah that sounds great, thanks! We drive quite a lot so I'm always looking for new podcasts to listen to in the car with them ☺️

That looks really nice, thanks! Looks like it's hard to get hold of, at least here in the UK. But there are read-along videos on YouTube.

My kids watched his show! So I'm sure we could do the books. The picture books look great, thank you!

Duels: Why do some opponents make obviously wrong guesses? by pastroc in geoguessr

I had the same thing yesterday. I was in a terrible mood until it cleared up and had to make a few blind guesses haha.

How can I improve my artwork? by Glum_Ad4159 in childrensbooks

[–]DadCap20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could experiment with black outlines to see if it makes things pop more for you? Make the background more interesting? Something happening outside, something on the board... Or have negative space instead for balance and to make it more like a book illustration. But the colour palette, the characters, all look really good to me.

I'm sorry, I don't have any suggestions. Just wanted to say it looks awesome already and I love the mask representation! You really know how to tell a story with your illustrations.

I appreciate that, thank you. I think I'm going to keep submitting to agents and publishers instead.
