Overall, I'm really unhappy with the clarity of the pose of the character. His chin is hard to distinguish from his body, and I had to use a black liner to create visual distinction for the legs. I tried to stick windows on the buildings in the background. They looked bad, which is why some of the buildings are now yellow. Overall, I feel as if I had a very good concept for a cake, but did not use the right techniques and tools to execute the idea adequately. Thankfully the cake is a grocery store cake, and therefore cheap, but I still want to improve.

If you were making this cake, what would you have done differently to make the character and background more visually coherent and interesting?
