So I had a hard time choosing the right proportions for the character when he's older. The child is supposed to be funnier and intentionally disproportionated but the adult, even if it should also look like a cartoon character, should be a bit more proportional. So I started googling and found various techniques, the one applied here is based on the size of the head, essentially using it as a ruler. See the progress from sketch to draft below. Essentially, the body is 7 'heads' long. Trick is that whenever there's a joint, these 'heads' may overlap as in the knees below. Well, that's what I think...

Playing with proportions.

Not so bad. I kind of like the style, pending adding detail, probably changing the pencil width, etc.
