That's cool Hero. If I might add one observation, the head of the shop guy in the background seems overly large. I agree with the oversized look of the girl's head since that kind of proportioning for cartoony kids is understandable. You just seem to have relatively normally proportioned adults in the other 5 adult characters in the piece. Something about that round head being wider than his shoulders looks off in comparison. Aside from that the composition is looking good. Keep us updated.
Pineapple, I dig that. You should do one every day!
I'm fine with it. That guy just has a big head.

Hero, I love that market picture, so well done! And I didn't notice it at first, but now that JM mentioned the head size I can't unsee it, but its not a gamebreaker for me.
I need help again! I'm doing this picture for NGE and his lady and their newest addition, and I am STUCK. I need suggestions for the color of the mountains! I thought about purple mountain majesties, but it seems like it may be overwhelming. Black or grey seems like it would make it too dull. What do you guys think? Also not sure if I should leave Liam's name plain, one color, or a different color for each letter. This will be going in an infant's room, but they all grow up someday! I'd like to finish this up so I can mail it on Monday, this is about 6 hours from pencil to where it is now.

I don't know what color you should use for the mountains, but a rule of thumb is that the further things are in the background, the more faded they are due to atmospheric interference or whatever. In other words your foreground should always be more intense and darker than the background. I'm sure a light gray or blue-gray would be good. Just keep it lighter than the foreground. =)
Sounds good, thanks much for the advice!
