It’s sort of a complicated thing but here’s something:  
  • If you ignore the hole in the wall, the view seems to be from a roughly neutral angle the same height as the torsos. The ponies could well be standing on the same level so their relative position to each other is not a problem.  
  • The hole in the wall is viewed from a low angle (because we can see the upper inner corner), so it’s inconsistent with the perspective established by the ponies.  
  • The hole in the wall implies that this should be a cavern/room, but no walls or floors can be seen, and therefore there is no room perspective.
     
    Because of the hole in the wall, a single-point perspective isn’t too easy to pull off. So we go for two-point perspective here.
     
    So here’s what I did:  
  • Placed the horizon where it crosses both characters at the same relative point–here, the groin. Seen here as the bold cyan horizontal line.  
  • Picked a random first vanishing point to lay out depthwise corners of the box-like cavern/room/imaginary perspective box.  
  • Laid down some verticals. Since this is 2PP, vertical structure lines are parallel.  
  • Picked another VP to figure out the angles of the horizontal corners of the boxes.  
  • You can see some thin yellow true horizontals from where I messed up. True horizontals belong in a 1PP, which I was doing until I realised the hole was going to be a problem.  
  • Drew main features in bold red to make it easier to see.  
  • It became apparent that both ponies were clipping into the walls as they were, and rather than go back and redo the boxes with a wider, less extreme pair of VPs, decided to move the ponies inwards.  
  • White dashes are just approximate midlines of the four major surfaces.

  • Placing the ball within the spacebox of the hole: figure out the spot on the floor where the ball’s centre should lay (crossing white lines at 1/2 and 1/3 marks), draw circle, move it so that its bottom centre meets the crossing point. This method can be used to plot relative locations whereever in a space box, in 1-3 dimensions. Just draw in plottings for the position, find where the lines cross, and place the object/character there.
     
    Hope this helps.

Sometimes these things happen while stuck in moderate traffic, in dreary October rain, driving to my singing lesson.

I’m slightly alarmed.

The thing you made in Sketchup features a three-point perspective:

Here’s a comparison:

The grid isn’t that far off but with perspective you’re better off copying/painting over the study you painstakingly rendered, rather than try to duplicate it free-hand.
 
The deeper corners of the hole are vague enough that I was totally fooled, and though I was looking at the projection I posted earlier.
 
In this light, the main problems are:  
  • inner structure of the hole isn’t clear  
  • lightsource is inconsistent–how can the circle be so brightly lit if it’s in the hole? If it’s glowing it should illuminate the hole itself. In presence of a bright light that creates such strong highlights, there should also be deep and clearly defines shadows.

Did a couple of fairly quick drawings of my OCs in an attempt to clear a small art block i could sense developing. I find it a good way to relax and “cleanse your palate” a bit, even if (or maybe precisely because) it isn’t of huge interest to anyone besides yourself :V

Yeah I should, it’s a bit difficult though on a phone, not only that I use facebook to hide my searches all fandom related because my parents get upset at that for some reason. Sometimes I wonder if they do realize how lucky they struck to get a kid who isn’t into getting a boyfriend or looking for porn all the time or posting very undesirable photos of themselve on the internet. Those are usually the reasons for spying on your child and I don’t fit to any of Rhodes traits. Guess I better deal with it. :/

Posting in this thread also helps get a few more votes.
 
Because these images we produce are only on the front couple of pages for about 10-15 minutes normally, they simply don’t get the views.
 
As for uploading a modified version of a picture, I was thinking of doing that Fluttershy one again.

The colouring wasn’t good enough. I need to go over it and clean it up, then re-upload it for a merger. Could quite easily become my highest scoring image here if I do that. The original scored well over a hundred.

Thank you so much. I was going to paint over the model in the first place but I didn’t know if it would hinder me in learning perspective. I’ve decided to go with a less cavernous interpretation of the level.
