Could I have some guidance on my thumbnail?

Hi y'all! I felt like my thumbnail for my first video was cool at the time, but now I just feel like it looks unpolished and unprofessional compared to other videos.

I've made a few alternate versions. I would love if I could get some feedback and some tips on what to improve. Thanks!

old one look like channel will be for kids under 10y - paint and draw and channel owner/creator is similar age
the new one its looking like channel is for kids education owner/creator high age

tell us what about is the channel and what effect you looking to get with thumbnail ?
you like to be click bait or professional look or ...
 
This is art channel, is it so hard to check? Remove that scary girl and put your own hand and thats it. There is nothing you can do if its art tutorial.

the thumbnail (both) are confusing, it says learning the basics but what kind of basics. You are making them not look at your thumbnail because the whole sentence is below it. I suggest adding the whole sentence with the thumbnail, that way they can read it instead of the link. Different colors usually are used to help separate them like if basic is blue, novice is green, advance red, etc. Lastly, add different pictures, that way people think it is creative and easy to find.

They’re different versions of the thumbnail for the first video so they won’t all look the same like this. Are you saying to place the text closer to the middle of the thumbnail vertically? Thanks for your feedback!

No i mean instead of having "starting with basics" every time, you add the title that will also be the video title.
 
I agree, with removing the girl drawing, add a hand instead and make sure you have a bight pop of colour to catch the attention of potential viewers.
