Short answer, the perspective is just fine.
Long answer starts by telling you what many photographers know; it depends whether you are close, using a wide angle lens, or distant and using a telephoto. If your artist's point of view is close, the feet will be smaller, if it's from far away, the feet will appear more like the "normal" size. It goes on for ages, and probably supplies example photos, but I'm lazy...

@Walrus@toot.wales Yep. It's something I think I understand intellectually, but find myself second guessing in practice even when I have actual photographic references to check against. Partly it's to do with the discovery that you can draw something perfectly technically accurate, and yet it *still* will look wrong to a viewer based on how the brain interprets abstracted representations of a real objects. Fascinating but infuriating. The other part, of course, is the artist's usual self-doubt.
