   Love the illustration. Seems to me that it might be a neat addition if the bee's left hand was appearing over the top of the form, as if he was lightly grabbing it. The right hand already kind of looks like it's presenting the form to the user.

   hahaha!

   Suggestion- maybe some rim light/ fine stroke around the hand to separate the arm from the body stripe?

   Thanks @Michael @Pasquale Good ideas...
   I always have a problems with strokes on my illustration work, as this style does not have any outline work, so it tends to look odd, when I add it in.

   Yeah, I know what you mean when trying to stick to that aesthetic.

   Usually I'll try to add a suuuuper soft gradient kiss to give it a highlight just around the edge of where it intersects to raise it from the background, or just feather the stroke out into nothing.
