What is working? What is not?

Drew this recently at a patio cafe. I would like to know your very first impression. The thought that leaped into your head when you first looked at it. One thing that is working, one thing that is not.

I have the same critique as Danet, that the perspective is off on the chair, and far leg. It helps to draw through the form to figure things out. That said, I really like this drawing. You've got some great squishiness and personality going on in it. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

My first impression is very positive! Looks great, Mic, and the head-hat area is especially good. One thing I notice as odd, though, is the connection of the torso. Where the upper body and the lower body meets is strange to me; it might just be the fact the subject is sitting far back in his chair and the way that his right arm is slightly twisting away. It looks like a very unnatural and uncomfortable position. To fix this, I would start with a gesture that is a more flowing curve instead of having the spine be too straight when his upper half suggests he is leaning forward.

I liked it! The pose looks really natural and that works. I think that perspective is a little off. Check out the legs of the chair.

Hi Micah. I love your drawing, I’m a shy drawer and find it really hard to draw when others are looking. The chair is a minor issue and it was possibly just a slip, but Just in case and as some people were mentioning the perspective, I thought showing you how the lines would vanish would help. I’m guessing you were sitting down and your eye level was approximately at the same height as the man’s. Hope this helps. If you need any clarifications please ask. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff

Nice little illustration, I like it. I would say that the first thing i noticed as was said by @sonjamu is his right foot, along with the right front leg of the chair, that seem a little off.

It's an interesting pose, it catches my eye, because I instantly wonder, what he is doing. Maybe he is very concentrated working on something tiny or he is hiding something. Then I look for clues, the hat and neutral clothing make me think, he is indeed hiding something. That is working really, realla well and I would stop here, because the two not so much worling things, didn't hit my eye until much later. I dont think they hurt the image. But as you asked: I could not immediately see what is going on with the foot, I first thought he was placed on something higher. And the grid (? sorry not a native speaker) of the chair is a bit prominent and catches some more intention than maybe was intended.
