some kind of WIP OC thing

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Proportion's not an issue, it's the pose. It's quite awkward. The arms are squashed against the body, the feet hesitant and the smile sloping downwards, aswell as the shoulders being slightly hunched; maybe this is the trait you want to convey, but I don't know where you're going: what is this character's personality like, his temperament? Once you've got this you can work on the pose, and the shading. Putting a lightsource in a particular place can change one's feeling of the character, emphasising on what aspect or another (classic stick a flashlight under face conveys a sinister aspect of a person's face).
You need to show what you're aiming for, make more progress, so that we can understand how to help you precisely.
