	I adore that style XD There's something about the shape of the jaw and the nose that's so appealing. O v O I'm sorry for lack of critique OTL Hmm... I think it's the glasses. If they're slipping down to below his eyes, the angle of the lens should be facing downward, yeah? * u * Anyway it's really adorable; I love it heart

X) Wasn't too sure about the angle of the jaw and nose, since the head is slightly tilted upwards, but glad you like it! Yeah, the glasses are bent in a ridiculous way, haha.

	I guess I'm on kind of a "perspective drawing is an awesome" spurt, but a recurring theme I've seen in your work is that the drawings seem flat, irregardless of whatever shading and coloring you're doing. True, a lot of anime-style art is like that, but it's good to know if you want to step your stuff up a notch. I don't know if it'd help you, but try drawing in a horizon line when you work. You can erase it later, of course, but take a moment to figure out where the eye level is before you start. After that, all you gotta do is keep it consistent. Above the eye level and horizon line and the viewer is looking "up" at something. Below the eye level and the viewer is looking "down" on that. It might translate to something simple like looking down on shoes and seeing the top of them (rather than the bottom). My advice would be to start out simple in one-point perspective. You can do some amazing things with just a single vanishing point. It isn't hard to learn and it can be very helpful.
