Not bad, but I have a question to ask and some constructive criticism to provide.

So, question first: In your pencil drawing, is the MUTO supposed to be around 45-60 feet tall? I know in the movie it was larger than that, but in your picture it looks much, much smaller and the "angle" isn't actually the cause.

Constructive criticism: If you want to utilize perspective in your drawing accurately, the MUTO would need to be behind Godzilla in the distance in order to appear that small when stnading next to him. In the movie, the male MUTO was around 150-180 feet tall or so when hunched forward on all fours. You can read the 2014 Godzilla wikia if you want, but those provided heights are very inaccurate (the Male MUTO is clearly NOT 91 meters in height, as that's almost exactly 300 feet and he's clearly not that large either when it first exits the cocoon nor when it fights Godzilla at any point in the movie). So don't trust the wikia for accurate info.

In most of the fight scenes with Godzilla, the male is just over half of Godzilla's apparent height. So if the MUTO is supposed to look small like it is in your picture while remaining accurate with "angles" and all that stuff we call "perspective" in art, then it has to be behind him because trying to reverse perspective is a no-no. Either it's large and in the background to make it look smaller, or it's just small in the foreground because it really is that small. But it doesn't work the other way around. You can't make something large like a 150-180 foot MUTO appear to be only 45-60 feet tall by putting it closer to the viewer in the foreground. If you do move the MUTO to the foreground like that, accurate perspective demands it look much bigger and reach up to Godzilla's height or even larger depending on how far forward you bring it.

Just some food for thought.
