Your arms and legs look fine there, I see your reference circles to make things the correct head length tall. I think the tummy is a little skinny. He also needs a little more, ahem, booty... or perhaps widening the hips more in general. I'd also try less of a sharp gradient from the chest to tummy. Your guys is a sword fighter right? He's gonna have some abs in there to thicken up that lower chest. He's got more of a female's curve going on.
I hope you don't think I'm trying to over criticize your work. You seem like you really want to improve and I want to see you succeed. I still have trouble with proportions, its hard. After I draw a pic, I generally have my hubby criticize it, he's much better at spotting mistakes like that than I am. So it really does help to get another person's opinion when you are unsure.
The anatomy isn't that bad. The face in profile looks very nice, but I'd say that the chest looks a bit puffed out compared to his skinny stomach.
I think it tends to be a bit easier to get the anatomy right if you sketch out the body underneath and then add the clothes over, but I know some people prefer not to do that. It helps to have good reference pics too.

Hope this was at least slightly helpful...
