I gave it a lot of thought at the beginning as well. I draw as well, so something seemed weird. I came to the conclusion that the problem are the faces, not the eyes (as much) they have big cheeks like a baby, and realistic eyes, looks weird. With time, the style gets much better for proportions, and they still have realistic eyes, but they look good now, at least, you also get used to it.
Havn’t read this yet, but whats with the eyes? Its like when Spongebob and Patrick were drying out…..
