Nice work overall. You got the general proportions and perspective quite right, which is already a good thing. The thing that bothers you is imho the fact that you over simplified the torso and the head. Simplifying the body like a wooden puppet will only take you so far and could end up holding you back from understanding the torso and head, which are actually quite simplier than you might think. They are made of several simples shapes that overlap each other. It's best to study the skeleton and then the different muscles group, that way you'll end up understanding how to read properly the volumes, and synthetize them. I would recommend just reading a good book on anatomy, (emphasis on good book, "anatomy for sculptors" and Phillipe Faraut book on the body, for example, and do read "Force" by Mattesi to also have the mouvement and energy of life approach when sketching a human figure). And try to apply what you learn on short drawing from life, 5 minutes max, to start applying anatomy, sense of volume, and the ability to draw the subject. (And if you do have a wooden puppet, throw that thing away, it's really an art trap :D ) I did a (very basic) sketch, a good exercize is to place the skeleton on sport photos, we did that in anatomy class when I was in art school. Keep on the good work and remember to have fun!

I'm not confident in the chest, abdomen, and the head needs the most help. I don't know if the perspective or shapes are correct. Please help, thank you!
