I did some revisions to the sketch, thank you for your observations everybody =). It really helps me out.
Stuff I changed:
-added the cord, and some switches to the fan
-changed the angle of the fan cage and slightly adjusted watermelon plate
-did a few adjustments to her face (removed some bangs, gave her profile a more gradual slope
-tweaked the angles on the porch and roof outdoor to make them more parallel
-added in a hint of the shirt strap in front of her right shoulder
I may begin inking tomorrow, or I may do a few more revisions depending on what y'all see =).
Thanks again

Well the fan also has no blades if you look closely there should be a hint of an inner semi-visable circle where teh blades are spinning, getting slightly more visable as it comes to the axis. The axis should also extend almost all the way to the front plate of the fan.
But that is if you are asking for small details.

We have one of those little bamboo water-well things at the gardens near my house. I don't know why simple things like can be so amusing... (it's fed from a water main, since its for demonstration, so it slowly goes up and down all day).
Definitely waiting to see this one finished up :)

Heha, very nice. One of those things that make me wish that I drew more. |3
As for being a constructive critic, the only two things that I see are kind of.. well one is one of those 'duh' things but I'll be captain obvious and ask if you remembered that you left the line behind the cord you drew in for the fan when it crosses the edge of the fan's base. I know you'd catch it when you went to ink, but I've seen myself and others miss far bigger things.
The other is more of a clerical thing then something that is actually wrong. For every animal that I have ever seen, when they face a headwind, their ears automatically lay back. Granted, that's likely an automatic response that anthromorphs would likely be able to override, but inherited reactions are kinda hard to get rid of.
But yeah, I like this piece and can't wait to see it when you've inked or even finished it! :3

and this is were i tell you, in Japan there are always about 11 ninjas in your room -even if it is in a drawing they are there- and were do you think they are looking right now >:3
you are one of the reason's i wanna learn to draw better, just so i could draw this good (or better...naaa).

I am INCREDIBLY jealous of your ability to do something like this and not smudge the crap out of your paper |: For this skill I must now eat you to gain for myself *_*
Ok so lame joke is lame. But jeeeez man. And your ability to do technical stuff like buildings and perspective......Do want ;3;

The perspective is great :) One question though: If the airstream from the vent reaches up to hear ears, wouldn't she lay them a bit back so that the moving air couldn't create to much sound in her ears? I've watched my dogs last summer sitting in front of my AC and they layed back their ears.
Blah perspective, my natural enemy T_T
Looks great, always love your attention to detail in foreground and background, not just the character.
Now if those are the traditional paper walls, they are semi transparent or at least show light differences, so will you be adding shadows behind them?

That looks quite cool! And probably rather difficult to do.. My wife does some 3d work so I'm a little bit familiar with how complicated it is to do. Anyways, sure, you may. I've just finished the colors on the image, and I'd like to see what you create, when you've finished it =).
The only "problem" I see with it isn't one I want to say mainly because I dunno how you would fix it. It's very....centered. My portrait teacher used to get on my own ass about this, there is a "line" through the almost middle of the piece, which cuts the "flow" of it. Her tail is so close to the edge it sectionalism the image via "empty" space. It kinda makes the image boxy with the exception to the figure. I guess that would enter into the realm of personal taste, compositions being very organic flowy or more rigid boxy. Hope I am understandable >,<;
Well, I think thats mostly a result of the choice to use one point perspective, in a primarily architectural setting - I did try to make it asymmetrical, showing more of one set of doors than the other, not centering the tatami mats, etc. I agree that trying to have things not centered helps with composition, and I'll be sure to think about that more in the future.
Well if you want the fan to look accurate then it needs:
- The screws that hold the cage in place
- The vertical angle adujstment axis
- Straps that keep the frontal part of the cage in place
- The horizontal rotation mechanism
- A longer engine axis (it normally gets close to the frontal end of the cage)
- A less weird base. I've never seer a fan with a flat, thin, square base. I think it doesn't even make sense from an engineering standpoint (a thin base like that would have to be made of something sturdy and expensive like alumunium, and much of the frame would have to be as sturdy. an angular, fat base can be made of cheaper, lighter materials like plastic, yet do the same job)
And isn't there too few seeds for two pieces of watermelon?

A couple more hints on the ellipse. These are generic comments, not specific critiques, and are intended to add to your knowledge. I do see some minor inconsistencies between the various ellipses, nothing that will detract from the image, but (if you are as perfectionist as I am) worth taking another look at.
When there is a common axis, such as on the post for the fan, each ellipse should be parallel with the others. On cylinders, all the ellipses will be the same size and orientation. They should be identical. (This is where having templates is so very useful.) Since the post is vertical, the long axis of the ellipses will be horizontal.
On the motor, the ellipse at the front should be mirror image of the one at the back. All ellipses on the fan, fan cage, shaft and motor should have their centers spaced along a single line that is also the centerline of the fan. As should the blur that is the tips of the fan blades. The center of the ellipse is the mid-point of the axis (the long axis is generally used). They should all be at the same 'angle' as well. (Do I need to explain this?)
