Critique this noob

I'm starting to draw characters in a cartoonish style

I want to hear your opinion about
- the way i colored it
- the way it should look
- why it looks so crappy

Finally, i thought i was crazy for a second. Everyone who saw it said it was completely wrong

Although exaggerated proportions may suite the character, they are still misshapen and off.
you got the shoulders are different heights, but the torso lacks a curve. The girth of his back leg could use some adjustment, it looks slightly puny compared to his front leg.
His face structure could use some work. as well as attach to the body better. The smaller head does give an larger appearance to the body, but I feel you have it a bit too small.
The arms could use some work. They don't look quite as ripped as the rest of the body and lack a little definition. The hands are somewhat gimpy, and you lack any sort of wrist. It is ust the stump of the forearm leading straight in to the hand.

coloring is alright, could be pushed out a little more.

I KNEW IT. thanks kinsei, I've learned a little today

You have awesome drawing skills, but you should learn some anatomy.

I wish they were awesome. I'm trying to invent my own anatomy model, that's why it is very messed up. Thanks for the compliment , I really appreciate =)

here's the original picture, his left arm was supposed to be robotized, but then I changed idea, and it was supposed to look cartoonish, that's why his hands are that way.

I would appreciate more critiques

I can't believe no one else pointed out that his arm holding the gun is waaay too long. He could nearly touch his ankle without even bending over. Strange how you drew his clothes and accessories so well and in such great detail but you messed his arms up so bad.

[Spac3case916]

some basic anatomy is wrong.
but i cant tell if that's intentional because the unit of measure (the head) is almost purposefully small.

if your going to play with proportions you have to know how yo make it look real. Example: the arm that isn't holding a gun looks really weird at the joint.

It doesn't look like muscle.

I still need help!! what about the left arm, do you guys think it's ok? And what do you think about the rest?

[Sha-ne]

I think its ok. Left arm is fine i guess... but while you bothered to color it it has no shadowing. Not that you need it, i just miss it. :(
btw, the right leg is weird. You run (i think he's running) with both feet forward, not with your feet perpendicular. So try to make the right foot face forward a little, otherwise it would be movng off in the other direction.

Are his eyes sunglasses???? they're not connected at the middle :(

neverthless, I'm impressed! GREAT detail!

The left arm connects to the shoulder weirdly, his right upper arm is still way too long, his right leg is at a weird angle, and he has boobs :|
