A regular practice at my art school is for me to draw my students characters in my style. Not to make them draw like me but to show them how a professional might approach the subject.
It also allows me to interject some principles that might be more easily absorbed by seeing them performed in context.
Here is my first attempt. It is pretty strait-forward I just pushed the pose and expression and added a hand gesture for personality.
On my second attempt, I tried to push the cartoony-ness, Sometimes you discover better ways to draw a character by pushing it further than is comfortable.
