Help with comic style road

[Joe]

I'm making a very comic style game and the last background I drew was this one:



But I find it very uninspired...

Critics please

Ummm, is the chocolate shop supposed to not have a wall? That makes the window in it look very odd indeed...

¡Churros! ¡Que rico!

All in all I think you need more details - some "decorative" garbage and maybe a drain in the street, chocolatte candy in the shop window (and is the other one supposed to be selling mirrors?), the door to Claudio's needs a handle...
The signs look simillar, why not make one to be like on a plate above the window or something, to give it variation.

Some shadows here and there would be nice, also you kind of shaded the bus stop and the drain pipe behind it, but other things are not shadded.
And, just a small detail, the second/left leg of the bus stop looks too short, so the whole thing seems kind of crooked. Just an idea, but you might replace the whole thing with a bus stop sign (picture of a bus plus maybe a map under it, on the same pole).

As Sslaxxx mentioned, is there not supposed to be a wall, but like an open space? If so, it's usually placed so it faces the street and not an alley (but if you keep it this way, the canopy should be darker on the inside).
I'd suggest moving the open enterance to face towards the camera, that way you get an open area , no alley behind it that you need to draw and fill in and you avoid perspective pretty much, you get to keep the tables and add maybe like showcase/glass case with all the sweets inside, make the whole thing more atmospheric imo.

I might also take that crack and place it coming from the upper right window corner instead of just having it come from the top of the screen, kinda looks alittle like a vine. Walls tend to crack around door and window edges...and yeah, the bus stop is screaming for a sign of some sort, would definetly add more detail. About that missing wall to the chocolate shop, it definetly seems odd.

Not a bad background though...your on the right track

Thanks guys for your replies and sorry for being so late but I really had no time at all to restart drawing. so today I found some little time:


I tried to change everything you suggested.
More critics please!

You „decorated“ well! It's a big progress in my oppinion!  

There are only two little things, I would change a bit, if possible:

# 1
By watching the window of Claudios, I still don't know, what they are selling (what anian said).  
If the items in the window are a kind of promotion-constellations, they shouldn't be blanc.
If they really sell mirrors, maybe you could change the items in the window to three different, but more classical mirrors in different frames.
You also can write (whaterver is selled) unter the Name on the window to make it clear.

#2
The crack looks more like a little branch to me, than a crack.
Maybe a little reference will show you, what I mean:

Much Better, the only thing i would do now is take what looks like your napkin holder and put it on the table instead of the rounded glass.
