Um.. hes not drawing the heads to big. Its a little difficult to get all anal about the canon of proportions when your dealing with cartoons...
Hes actually got a pretty solid grasp of anatomy albeit very cartoony.. A little to focused on style maybe..

I'm going to have to disagree, I think there are a lot of anatomical and structural flaws through out these. The second one is the strongest, but there are still a few confusing shapes that don't make sense.
Personally I'd recommend you step back from the stylised stuff and focus on more traditional figure drawing and construction. Sounds boring but it'll make this stuff all the more stronger when you come back to it.
The painting of these pieces are what's killing it. Too much Photoshop, it's a shame too cause looking at the lineart, it's not bad. I liked the Batman piece and android piece too. When it comes to filters and custom brushes in Photoshop, less is more. Don't be discouraged though, lotta potential here

My main gripe comes you outlining everything in white. The first picture is especially bad, because it looks like a cartoon sealed in a blister pack.

I didnt say he understood structure or form. Just anatomy.. in the 2d sense of knowing what muscles insert and where the bones are kinda suppoused to be.
Ill have to join the crowd saying these would be much easier on the eyes as just linework. Going a little nuts with your photoshop
Not bad. Just need to refine them further to a more finished state. Like T I M said, too much photoshop.
I agree with Metalbourne about the white outlines. In that first picture, if you removed it, the image would look loads better. Overall the concepts/ideas are good, which is the most important thing. Just work on your technique. Keep at it!
