;Perspective
:Perspective is basically the projection of a 3D world onto a 2D support (paper, computer screen, ...)
:For basic rules and limitations, as well as a few tutorials, see [[en:Perspective_(graphical)|Wikipedia]] and [http://mathdl.maa.org/convergence/1/?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=477 links] [http://www.scottmcdaniel.net/drawing/perspective/perspective.html therein].
::(of course there are other tutorials than these, and Guido will have further tips)
:Apart from generalities, the major problem is with the aspect ratios of objects in a complex scene.
:One thing you can do is make a real scene by arranging real 3D objects in your room: boxes, bottles...
:Then you place your eye where the "camera" would be and instantly see the right scales and projections.
:Another thing you can do is find a photograph of the place you want to render (in your case, Frisco).
:[http://mayhem-chaos.net/photoblog/images/sf_golden_gate.jpg HERE] you can see the Golden Gate bridge and its general situation with respect to SF.
::(you can see that the land next to the bridge is basically naked, because it's rocky or whatever)
:[http://www.earthinpictures.com/world/usa/san_francisco/golden_gate_bridge.jpg HERE] you can see it from up close, with the nearest building (Fort Point)and a few people.
:The biggest problem with your scene is that you want to show too much in a single shot: uncompatible view points.
:One problem is that the roadway is high above the ground level in the vicinity of the bridge,
::so if your camera is shooting horizontally at the warehouse door and the people in front of it,
:::you may not be able to see the bridge itself, let alone the cars on it, in the same shot.
:The only building that's as close to the bridge as you suggest is apparently [[wikipedia:Fort_Point%2C_San_Francisco|Fort Point]]
::(and as you can see, the roadway is clearly far above the fort)
:If the fort is not good enough, you could take a less extreme shot at the bridge, [http://www.ged.rwth-aachen.de/Ww/people/chris/jpg's/Joshua%20Frisco%20St%20Louis%2006/003%20%20Golden%20gate%20and%20harbour%20web.jpg from a harbor district].
::The strait and the bridge over it will be seen in the distance (no cars, sorry), and there'll be warehouses.
:::Of course Google Image may not have the perfect shot for your story (e.g., landfill), but it's a start.
:Another thing you can do is split the drawing into a few different perspectives:
:#a wide situation shot (e.g., closer to the bridge and cars, but focused on the faraway warehouses)
:#a closer shot where you can see the warehouses and the vehicles, people standing, doors opening
:#a final shot where you finally distinguish the features of the characters and other details...

;Characters
:Not many tips except for practicing a whole lot more.
:Baggy clothes do a good job hiding the anatomy, but...
:*the neck is much too thick; head's OK
:*the left shoe should be in perspective
:*the stylized eyes just don't work here
:(with realistic eyes she'd look great!)
