Any critiques on my proportions would be appreciated.

Hi @desmond68, nice drawing! Sure, I'll give some feedback on the proportions :)
- The torso and head seem a little big.
- In your next drawing, pay more attention to the angles. Apart from improving proportion, this will also help you capture the pose better.
If you compare the leg, to the right side of the page in the drawing, with the same leg in the photo, they have different angles; in your drawing it leans to the right, instead of the left as it does in the photo.
The arm is another example. In the photo the arm is bent into a sharper angle than in your drawing. Imagine striking the pose yourself; first as if you were posing as in your drawing, then as if you were posing as in the photo. Can you feel how bending the arm like in the photo has a different feel to it; more tension and energy. The point with mentioning this is that angles are not only a tool for copying things accurately; they also play a big role in capturing the gesture. You could even adjust the angles to bring more energy into the pose.
You could also look for the angle between parts, like the knees for example. In your drawing they allign almost horizontally, whereas in the photo their relationship is oblique.
- What are your art goals? What type of work do you want to create? Knowing this might help me guide you better. Do you have any examples of art, by artists that you admire, that is the type of work that you'd want to create yourself?
I hope this helps :)
