At first I too had the impression that the rotation messed up the foreshortening. Now I wonder if that was just a temporary effect of switching from one view to the other. In photography terms this would correspond to a simple rotation of the camera, would this change the perspective? I'm not sure. I don't have many comments at this point of the WIP except that I like how you colored the woman's cape and I look forward to seeing the next stage!
My take on cartoon is that to make good cartoon you need to know everything about realism plus how to apply the knowledge to distorted shapes that we don't see in real life. How to shade this huge nose, what shadow will it cast onto the cheek or chin? How to keep this exaggerated leg movement recognizable as what it is in real life to a general public at a spontaneous level? What mental pathways connect the abstract to the immediate perception? The fact that you find cartoon easier may mean that you know more than you realize and you're beyond realism in your subconscious?
