Awww poor guy. I feel bad for him. The coloring on him is really good and...how to put it, reminds me of the caricature-style coloring. It could also be because of his heightened head. I believe the buns on the menu should have been a bit of a stronger brown saturation instead of a duller one (maybe you chose that brown to keep the colors from competing with the fairly saturated guy?) A suggestion would be to add thicker edges to the shades and higlights on the bag for the creases because it looks more like a wool bag instead of paper. The hair on his right side seems a little stiff and dry compared to his left. The fingernail on his left middle finger doesn't seem to be on par with the left finger's value. What I'm trying to say is that (on his left hand) the middle finger fingernail is a higher-key value than the finger (though looking at the image again the same can be said for the one on his right). I'm not sure if you do this technique but grayscale your image and you'll see. Also, his left sleeve diameter looks smaller than the right. Some folds or hidden behind the chest part of the shirt might do the trick.

In terms of consistency, in my opinion, I think the item outlines on the menu should be a lot thinner to almost nonexistent because here we have a highly detailed image with colors covering most of the outlines, but when shifting the view to the menu, it goes from very stylized with a good deal of detail on the figure and objects around him to very cartoony and very less detail menu selections. Though you may have chosen it to be like that due to creative choice.

A quick little suggestion is to maybe add a cash register at the front because it feels somewhat empty in the foreground. The foreground compared to the background feels a bit unbalanced because of the emptiness.

Other than that, the detail on the guy is really amazing. Maybe some arm hair would have made things a bit more interesting. The muscle shades are really good, something I wish I can achieve sometime soon. I like the detail on the food wrappings as well. I just feel so bad for the guy because he looks so misrable, yet it seems as if there is a hint of humor slipped into this image that makes me feel a little bad for finding it funny.

Yeah I had to desaturate the menu art to create some depth of field (also used some subtle gausian blur for that too). The menu was intentionally stylized to suggest a graphic poster style ( I know thats not how they do it in McDonnals but whatever).You're spot on about the bag- I'll definitely have a go sorting that out.

I did actually try putting in a cash till but I felt it cluttered the composition, drawing focus from the bag, which makes the main point of the piece.

Arm hair, hmm, maybe if I was going for ultra realism, although I do think noticeable arm hair tends to age a character. I wanted this guy to look like someone who has dropped out of school early and is regretting the decision.

Thanks for taking the time to write a critique. I'll let you know when I've fixed tat bag (oh and that pesky fingr nail) . ;)
