Stylization and exaggeration of the human figure is way cool and we encourage it, however you still need to keep in mind where exaggeration works and where it doesn’t. Just remember that when stylizing you should still be paying attention to the basic rules of proportion.
We’ve used the classic ‘proportions of man’ to demonstrate. Example 1, on the left, shows a myriad of proportional mistakes. The head is too small, the arms are all different lengths, the hands and feet vary in size from honkin’ huge to miniscule, and the legs are too short. This is one weird looking dude, and it’s clearly not because of artistic license.
The man in Example 2, while highly stylized, follows an actual human’s proportions much more closely. The limbs are all the correct lengths and the hands are the right size (remember, a human hand is approximately the same size as a face). Here’s a great example of how to create a distinctive style and feel while maintaining an accurate human proportion.
