Vlad: Welcome! The Letter Eater is an awesome concept. Given the subject matter and audience, I would not persist on technically correct perspective. But the current state makes me wish for either a more stylized and loose, or a more realistic depiction of the animal. The book establishing a strong perspective and the nice fur texture push this into a more realistic direction. The glasses are clearly intentionally cartoony, which is OK, even given the strong contrast. What I think is not satisfying are the feet and the way it stands on the page. I would look for, or create, a reference to get that right. Does anybody reading here happen to have an anteater figure or happen to have some clay or any other suitable material to create one? A photo of such a figure on a book arranged to match the illustration would great.
