Nice character! Is that your own style?

OK, the rigging can be improved. Since you seem to prefer flexible binding, you get into problems because of the small dimensions of the limbs. The Bone Strength zones overlap so much that hands and feet get distorted when you just turn an arm or leg.

I'd use Bone Offset even more than you already did. I'd seperate hands and feet from arms and legs. But I only could try this with the hands because you have built your legs as one complicated shape which I couldn't sort ot.

I build my characters from many separate shapes, I don't use welding or combined lines. This way I can always keep my stuff separate and as far from each other as I need.

I am new to anime studio (only a month), but this should help you a lot. I re-rigged your little man :D

It's not too complex, but hopefully you can learn something from it.
