Ready to put in my portfolio?

@AngelinaKizz I’m afraid if I get too strict with the perspective rules that it will mess me up because in the past when I’ve bent perspective around I’ve learned that if I start to follow the rules too closely then more of it looks wrong because it isn’t all perfectly lined up.
I think another reason this would be challenging is because I would be applying 5 point perspective to a space that physically bending around with the floor of the hallway bending back in space and the walls are acutely bending away from each other in a v shape which I did in order to show the objects on the walls more clearly rather than looking down at the tops of objects. I think I will still play around with bending the clock, the bells, and the poncho around though because they’re larger objects.
I really appreciate the draw over! It’s always so helpful to see different approaches -
@Nyrryl-Cadiz hmm, I worry that having both of the text spots right next to each other might look a little weird because I think they’re usually more staggered. However, I can’t find any examples of illustrations with room for text! I’ve looked through a bunch fi the picture books I have and I’ve searched google but I just can’t find examples to see how others do it

Revisions! Used a bit of everyone’s suggestions so thank you to all of you! The only thing I’m still wondering about it the room fort text. Though I do think they look better I still think they feel a bit odd, maybe compute the texture of the wood in those areas but still keeping any line art out of those spots would work? Let me know!
-
@Griffin-McPherson i don't think they look odd, the text is misssing and thats why i guess. If it still fells odd with text, maybe we can brainstorm again?
i really like the illustration! I admire how you are able to just make the changes. i mostly feel if its done its done and i will think about what i got as critique for the next piece. I should work on that though.

@Griffin-McPherson looks great! I think once you put some text in, it'll feel right. If not, then you could add some of the line work underneath at a reduced opacity. Great piece!

@von_Nimmermehr it’s hard to go back and do revisions once you get in the mindset of being done with it. I don’t usually go back and do revisions like this but it’s rewarding to be able to improve it from the point of what I thought was completion. I haven’t actually had to deal with someone telling me I need to make revisions since art school I’m trying to get more comfortable with revisions again.

I know I’m getting into nitpicking territory but can the room for text spots still work with the lines of the woods boards running through them or should I have them faded out?
-
@Griffin-McPherson have you tried placing text over top and seeing how it looks?
-
@AngelinaKizz I have, it kind of works both ways but of course the faded lines adds a bit more clarity
-
@Griffin-McPherson i would go with the faded lines then
-
@Griffin-McPherson I like the very faded lines!
