Hop 3 — 30 more, same family
Three new icons in every category, on the proven recipe. The bar is symbolic and child-recognizable — a kid names it at a glance — not fine art. Read the black and cream columns and the 30px chat size; the lessons that fall out are summarized at the bottom.
Lessons sharpened by these 30
- Easy wins are the naturally dark-marked subjects — bear, fox, mouse, snake, turtle, raincloud, cupcake, gift, crown. Their real-world markings (ears, patterns, ribbons, bands) hand you the ≥20% second colour for free.
- The gold-chip trick generalizes — anything thin or radial (snowflake last round; this round it's why rain, lightning and the rainbow lean on a dark cloud as their anchor) needs a solid colour mass to sit on, or it disappears on a matching background.
- Gestures hold up as symbols — wave, clap, victory are drawn as clean shapes with a dark cuff for mass, not anatomy. Your eye decides if they cross the child-recognizable line.
- Wheels and rings need a gold rim — bicycle wheels, the donut hole, any dark ring on the page edge gets the thin gold outline so it survives black. Confirmed across more subjects now.
- The airplane is in — drawn as a flat symbolic silhouette with a contrail, testing the old "airplane always fails" rule under hand-craft. Does it read?
- Near-mono is still the open question — banana, umbrella, music note lean gold; same flag as sun/heart/star. Carrying your earlier ruling forward.
Tell me which of the 30 miss the child-recognizable bar and each becomes a rule — then the recipe is solid enough to take to the generation pilot.
