More development on 'zine ideas

I added more detail to this drawing by make the rubber on the end of the pencil rounded and adding a bit more shading. I also changed the mans foot on the left to make it more realistic and I added a bit more shading to the sofa they are sitting on. 

I also added more detail to the backpack. By adding more detail I think it makes it look more realistic and if its a lot heavier. I added a few details on the boy too. 

I mocked up a two page spread for my magazine. On one side I drew the boy dragging the bag across the page and the other side will be 3 spot illustrations. However, I am unsure what to put in those boxes. In the top left on the right page is a spot illustration of the boy sharing stories about his dad. I wanted the page on the right to be positive ways to cope with bereavement.
