Yep I'm trying to draw a library for my game and this is the first screen for it...i think it looks ok but there are always things you can do to improve. I'm not sure about the perspective...anyway if you have anything to say about it let me know. I will of course fill the shelves with books etc. Thanks.

Wow, that's pretty nice. However the Bonzai tree's trunk looks a little off and the larger bookcase to the left could do with a partner IMO.

I never looked at it as i bonzai hehe i just wanted to put a plant there but yeah the trunk looks a little thick maybe...about another bookcase...a partner... then you must mean that i should put an exact copy of that one beside it or..?

Yeah, something like that. To me it just looks too empty.
But perhaps leaving a bit of open wall just to stop it looking cluttered.

Personally, I'd stick a noticeboard between the bookcase and the door.  Having books that close to the exit would result in easy knowledge pilfering, and thieves don't need any more education.

The plant, and the globe for that matter look odd, as they're of a different style to the rest of the clean lines used.  This will probably change once more detail goes in (assuming you intend more detail, it's a little sparse at the moment).

The shading around the skirting boards looks off, too.  I'd suggest picking a light source (or several), and adding shadows for the whole room to suit.

The brown object, desk perhaps, in the bottom right has some line wierdness on the go.

The bookshelves on the left are more cartoon-like than the rest of the image (perspectively, etc).

I've no comment as per the ceiling.

Yeah the plant looks weird not having an outline like everything else.
Next time you are unsure of perspective it's probably best to post it before you've added such detail!

When I first saw this title I wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as I saw it I said to myself, "Yes, that is definitely a library." I don't to go into a lot of detail ATM, but I must say this is an excellent start. ;D
