Description
So I'm actually pretty pleased with this one C: I really forced myself to try something I'd not done before. Perspective is guaranteed to not be accurate, but I gave it my best shot, and I learned a lot from it!Also, that angle for a smiling face is ridiculously hard to draw :I
Enjoy!

IGNORE THE STAR SHIT TO THE SIDE. It's like the same star system for any other goddamned thing that rates shit. I put them all at four stars because if I /had/ to rate it, that's what I'd put.
Anyway..
I think this is a pretty gorgeous picture, but there's one prominent thing that sticks out to me as kind of awkward. Well, one and a half.
So we'll start with those. The face sticks out to me the most, as if it's half at that quarter prespective and half from the side. I /think/ it's just the teeth and how they look like they're facing me head on.
I do also wanna point out the left leg, but with how the perspective has a hint of that "fish eye" curve I'm not really sure if it's something needing to be pointed out. But, I feel it is kind of juuting off to the side rather oddly. -shrugs-
Now lets go with the good! I like the painterly style of the background, and your buildings are starting to get better. Slowly but surely you're slapping on more detail. The coloring on Kakumey is also very well done. c:

It makes me really happy to see you stepping out of your comfort zone, and for a new thing I think you did really good and hopefully you've learned a lot.
I am also happy to see the hair lines didn't clutter it as much as I though it would, you were right it actually looks fine. But it does look a little flat for a daytime picture, depending on the time of day the light can be pretty harsh creating some really light lights and dark darks. I can't tell what time of day it is honestly so it's not the biggest deal just a suggestion for the future.
Other than that the only problem I see on Kaku is her fibula by the ankle is really prominent, it makes it look like it's sticking out more than it should and really draws the eye to it.
So yeah I think Kaku came out really good, next to the flowers she's probably the best part of the picture. I really enjoy how her hand over that wall came out, you really did a good job on that hand. The clouds are also very nice.
Really I think just those back buildings came out a little wonky, which is normal for a first time fish-eye lens picture for sure. That building on the far right is probably the best looking one, and the one on the far left is probably the worst looking one just because it seems like it's trying to show two angles at once. I think the glass building would look better if it had more windows I think, the windows on it are so big it just makes it seem weird since it's suppose to be far in the back. The far right building could probably use more windows too.
Overall you should be proud of yourself though!

Thanks!
I don't know why I never thought of that oAo I guess I was just so focused on making sure it was light enough for people to actually see this time that I made it too light XD I'll keep that in mind!
I see what you mean there! o: I'll be more careful with that in the future
Thank you <3
Ah yeah, I see what you mean about the windows. (And that far left building always bugged me; now I know why!) I made the mistake of rushing by that point, so I didn't think about the size of them orz
Again thank you ;u;

This turned out amazingly!
For a first time perspective angle like that, I'm quite impressed.
You're getting better and better everyday

Awesome perspective!! While some of it is a little odd, since it's like the first time I've seen you do any really epic perspective shots it is DAMN good. I like the coloring, too. It's a little different from your normal style and a little more detailed. I like it!

Thanks so much! Yeah I gotta work on perspective shots more orz As for the coloring; It's how I color when I'm not lazy XD" And the tones are cooler to fit with the warm sunlight

You're welcome <3. The more you work with the perspective pieces, the better you will get. You're already doing really well so there's no telling what will happen when you keep going. The coloring is sups awesome!! But it does look like it would take quite a bit of effort and time so I don't blame you for lazing it usually. The tones do make for a great contrast and warmth. <333

Again, thanks! Actually the coloring's not hard to do XD" It's pretty fast to render, and is what I do normally only without the second tone. I'm just usually too lazy to add in the second tone orz"

Ahah I see c: still, it looks awesome and you should do it more often

If I'm not rushing, I shall XD

Such an angular perspective is so awesome! And talk about an aggressive approach, if you count that oh hey you used a fish-eye "lens". Aside from the odd angle of the face, everything looks and feels quite awesome.
Excellent stuff. Keep up the amazing work. ^^

Thanks so much! Yeah I think it's called 4 point perspective? Though I completely messed it up probably XD
And oh man, I used a picture of myself for reference on that face. That angle is bloody hard to draw. Even with the reference I didn't really get it to look right OTL almost gave up on the whole thing because of it
Thanks! C:

Well, glad ya didn't give up, else folks wouldn't have gotten to at least see the excellence of all the other bits of the image that ya aced.

I'd told myself when I started drawing that no matter the mistakes, I had to finish it XD I have the bad habit of dropping pictures in the sketch phase if I can't get things to look right orz
