OK Brenda, and I will try to be as objective as possible, and I will start With the lay out, or composition as we Call it here on FAR. I Think the text is taking over this poster, and think smaller letters would look better. Then of course the drawing at the top should take more room. I also think you need a stronger contrast between the background colors of the text and drawing. If not I also think the same color of the Whole poster would look very Professional.
I know the early drawings of Pooh Bear was done in black and white, and that you probably wanted to emphasize this by using grey as a background color, but since this is meant for children, perhaps a more colorful background could be used. Children love colors.
I know Your style is more abstract (impressionism), but I would still have used thinner lines and more distinct stripes on Piglet's outfit.
It is an original and creative idea, but I have no idea if these posters would sell or not. I suppose you just have to try. It is always Worth trying, and I wish you Luck With that.

Once again another effective critique very much appreciated. I liked the rose flush i did but changed back when I was advised it had a purple in its make up that often plays down messaging. Its all experimental. So will look at text size and colours.v. picture size Children are attracted by colour you are right and an excellent pointer thank you again.

Well never know unless we test the market!
I'm sure kids or even those child at heart will enjoy reading this with those dynamic fonts that go well with the cartoon sketches!
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive story telling & textures. Thanks for sharing...

I love Winnie the Pooh and can see that this is a drawing from some of the first stories in the Before the characters were colored, piglet sitting on the fallen leaves ready to blow the dandelion seeds and make a wish. I think this is a good drawing of Piglet and the dandelion, the text is well placed as if it's a page from a storybook , As far as selling the artwork, my thoughts are , this would appeal to collectors of Winnie the Pooh items and this will include all of the characters made famous by these stories.
