Camels are similar. Digitigrades with giant food pads.

Elephants trunks go all the way to the ground when relaxed. That might be related to your head size mistake, but I also think the elephant is too tall/compact and its midsection is too small, just take a look at this reference. Also, the junk in the trunk doesn't really reflect how elephants are built. They have more saggy mom jeans behinds. Their hip joint is further back than you think.

Do you mind if I point out some additional critique? I know it is just a sketch :).
