references work in every case, even if the style is totally incorrect, proportion-wise. Wacky proportioned stuff can benefit from real life references in things such as basic anatomy, balance and shapes.
I suggest scrapping this, and start over. Don't start with the outline directly, but start making a sitck figure with solid shapes first. They help placing the volumous parts in the right spot and you don't need to erase large areas of your work to fix it.
