Anatomy Critique Would Be Cool

Building on my last thread, please find enclosed a more complete figure, here standing all heroic-like. (For copyright purposes, his name is... Brilliant Man.)
On the left is the finished doodle (which feels very... lightweight to me. Is it the lack of rendering?) I'm going for a Curt Swan sort of look, and referenced some Jose Garcia Lopez for the pose.
The right is my construction.
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!
This is a nice sketch overall. Talking about the left side sketch you should add more line weight and line variation. And be consistent with adding shadows.
The right side sketch, so whenever you draw a structure try to reduce the number of lines you use. Try to draw the structure with flowy long lines, you can learn more about this when you learn gesture drawing. You can also use simple shapes to draw structure which also doesn't require so many lines.
Otherwise , good job.
Thanks - all good points. I suppose I tried to do the whole 'scribble' gesture thing rather than the cleaner, more restrained one. And you're absolutely right about line weight and variation. Thanks so much for taking the time to look over my work!
I like this, especially your sketch, it has a lot of energy.
I think the way you drew the arms is pretty good, they feel very dimensional and solid. The torso and lower body though looks very flat because you used too many straight, flat lines.
I did a quick diagram to show you some of the things that I noticed in your drawing and what you could do to help keep things dimensional in the future. I hope it helps :)
This helps so much I'm tempted to get it tattooed on my forehead. A wonderful critique! Thanks so much! Gratifying beyond measure to know that I got some things right, and that you took the time to give my piece a draw-over.
