Hey a, sorry this is late, we've all been having technical issues and I missed this when actually had a computer (using my mobile right now)
Anyhoos here we go:
Good points:
~good vertical proportions
~good shoulders and neck
~nice face and hair
~great improvement from last one :3
Points to improve:
~ The line work is a bit sketchy here, try to do this in the same manner as you did task 2 with smooth lines and no showing of overlap, we are trying to train you to draw in a way that looks polished in these tasks:3
~The armpits may need a little be of referencing as the way the lines are here make them look a little inorganic but of course I could be wrong
~The arm muscle structure looks a little off to me- I'm no expert at male anatomy but I would suggest a bit of careful referencing of the muscles in the arm so that you can define them better
~His abs also need some referencing, they look too square like and unnatural as the lines are incorrectly placed
~The hand is far too small, despite what we think, the hands and feet are actually pretty big, they tend to span from the crotch line to a bit less than mid thigh - right now the hands look like they belo to a child instead.
~the reason why he is hovering is that his legs are a bit too short, the knee should be a little bit about the 6th line and it should be defined; knees play a vital role in anatomy and to leave the definition out would make them look incomplete
~His feet are also too small, the should be triangular,increasing in size towards the toes- feet tend to be bigger than the ankles (as is the case with wrists and hands)
I would grade this:
This is much better than last time is okay but please redo this task and if you need some good references just search male anatomy in DA and they have plenty of good ones there :3

Sweet, this looks much better! In manga, they usually tend to make the figures taller than real life, so I'd make his legs a bit longer- you could make his knees lower. I'd also make his arms a bit longer (the wrists) and his hands bigger.

Definitely a big improvement, I would only extend his forearms a bit (granted that I'm already on record as drawing forearms that are too long) to place the wrists at the same level as the crotch, and make his hands bigger. Hands and feet are much bigger than we think, particularly for males.
Regarding the legs, the only thing I'd suggest is to pull down the knees to that sixth line. It is very hard to get used to human figures being half legs at first, particularly when drawing the academic standard of eight-heads-tall, but it's a pretty good general rule. That accomplished, you can also lengthen the lower leg joints a bit so that he isn't hovering quite so much. It will also help the hovering thing if you move the heels down so that they are behind the toes, with the feet foreshortened somewhat. True, we'd still see the feet from a slightly high angle, but it would help to make it look like he stands on solid ground.
don't even want to think about perspective yet
