Description This was fun to draw, although still quite disproportionate. Not entirely proud of the overexaggerated glasses, but nothing I can do to fix any of the above issues aside from redraw the piece altogether.

Completed December 2016.
Copic Markers on bleedproof paper.

Actually, I kind of like the forced perspective - but maybe that's just me.

Oh, that's good, so it mustn't be as bad as I thought! Thanks

Hehe.  Well, Homestuck characters all have rather giant heads - so shrinking it down just made things look realistic.  The perspective is pronounced, but I've seen similar things done with lens-work in real photos.  Likewise, the glasses are indeed huge - but I think I saw similar eyewear on certain ladies in the 80's.  They kind of remind me of Jenine Melnitz from the original Ghostbusters or Noodle's new look in the latest Gorillaz video - and, hey, 80's retro is in again!

Ahaha, fair enough. And I can see the resemblance.  Thank you so much for the feedback, it is really appreciated!

No problem!  I dearly love feedback myself (both positive and negative) - as it's the best way to improve/tune one's craft - so I'm always happy to pass some along as well.
