I can't stress enough how important anatomy is. Please get a copy of George Bridgman's anatomy book(the complete one not the dover publication that is split up into like 10 different books and is a mess to keep track of). It'll run you about 20 dollars but that is literally the only book you'll ever need for drawing constructive anatomy. If you want to learn muscle groupings and such I suggest you get a copy of Ricther's "Artistic Anatomy" that book is harder to find, I had to have my local B&N order it for me.
He's very off balance and not too proportioned, I can see this was a straight forward line drawing, there is no underlying groundwork which is key to having a strong drawing. It truly is. I don't want to go on because this appears to be a child's drawing(this is not meant to be an offense) and I don't know how old you are so most of what I'm going to say may go over your head. Once I know how old you are I'll tailor my c&c on the appropriate level.
