Pretty cute!

Even though they're chibi, it's important to keep in mind the proportions. On the colored marker piece, that chibi has a very long torso, longer than his legs. On a regular person, the legs make up half the body, and in many anime (especially shoujo), they exaggerate this by making the legs up to 2/3 the body length. You're free to play around with the size of the body parts, but if something becomes longer than a body part it's normally not, it looks strange.

I think the one sitting around the jar looks more to the proportion of a chibi, while the other is too tall and skinny. i give you a thumbs up though because I can't draw chibi... sweatdrop Good job and keep drawing! heart

Try to think of it this way: a chibi is just a normal body that's been squish'd up. Draw the same proportions you would with a normal body, then shrink, squish, and enlarge the 'cute' factors (cheeks, maybe hands, eyes, etc.) .
