I like pushing the boundaries of my art skill. This was a trial in perspective and color use.

First of all, I'm still not 100% happy with the perspective. Mainly the arm. Foreshortening on arms is hard. And I know the bench isn't perfect with perspective either, but I wanted it more stylized. Curved lines are more interesting to look at than straight lines.

I wanted it to be a sunset pic because I wanted to experiment with new shading techniques. to add a hue to the shading color. I think it turned out well, even those it's only apparent on the white parts XD

Ace likes his solitude sometimes. Usually greens and blues are used to create a calming mood. But I think the use of color here and the expression of the character conveys calmness very well

Let me know what you think!
