For starters;
-the head is too big. Focus on getting the head down pact, it's your cannon of proportion after all!
-Measure you're body out in head heights, go for 5 for a woman, 6 for a man. Or do 6 if you're more comfortable with it since it'll give you more room to work
-The neck comes from the ears.
-Shoulders should be one neck width apart. One neck next to the actual neck for the left, and one for the right.
-Each breast ideally should be the size of the square of the face.
-Breasts are 1 to 1 1/2 heads down.
-Crotch should be the half way mark on the body.
-EXAGGERATE THE TILTS IN YOUR MASSES SO IT DOESN'T LOOK STIFF AS A BOARD!
-Limbs, specifically your legs don't work that way. No completely straight line running through all three masses. The thigh, the knee, and the calf are all seperate masses. Make sure you represent them that way, specifically by having them all going a slightly different direction. Sounds weird right? Trust me try doing that with your leg, completely straight it's not gonna happen. everything will be bending a different way slightly. Yes in art you can distort anatomy to make it ideal, but you never wanna make it completely unnatural.
-I wanna go back to how stiff this is, you used no dominant direction, vertical or arabesc. That's what causes this to look even worse, you need it to look alive, like it could breathe including all three of those essential aspects to starting a figure piece will make it happen.
-V2's arm on our right, augh no. Simply put just no, get rid of it, make it do something different.
I noticed all of this literally on first glance, if i did a more in depth evaluation I'd probs be able to give you more info but this should be enough for now.
If you want I can red-line this to demonstrate what I mean, or go more into what i mean/more technical aspects of creating a figure.
