All anime goes for correct proportions. The proportions are then exaggerated.
Proportion and depth then is mantained throughout the anime character's development. Even rocketboy obeyed these simple laws.
The above picture is classically flat and ill proportioned to the point where it isn't cute but slightly freakish. This is a common mistake of an artist that has no technical training.
I am not attacking the author: I give out the same advice time and time again when I see these signs.
Game Boy could draw like that for a hundred years and it'd only get prettier, it'd never raise his ceiling of ability. To break through the barrier and go beyond the current level of ability he needs to learn a few more technical art tricks, then his work will show a marked improvement, and so on, he'll grow exponentially as an artist.
People make big mistakes thinking that you only need to keep practising, and that practise makes perfect. Thats really wrong: practise only perfects what you already have.
So by learning proper proportion and perspective, he will have a lot more to perfect on :)
