Hi Derrick. Refer to my notes on the image below.

A) Always, always, always look for Relationship lines through the use of your long-axis lines. The leg going back could’ve come down a tad bit more to create a strong connection with the torso up to that hand. Look at the Michelangelo’s drawings and see where you can find Relationships. Frank Frazetta is also a good one too!

B) This area (Latissimus Dorsi/Deltoid) could be made much smaller. I know he’s a muscular man but something like that should be checked and compared to the reference. Construct your forms well and look for gesture in how things relate/connect to each other. Anatomy should secondary to this.

C) Good job in making the hips into a box form, but it can taken further. That leg going back, tells us it’s closer to the viewer so show/add some depth by continuing a line (drapery fold) into the trunks.

Cheers, all the best.
