Hey everybody.  Sorry I keep becoming a ghost on this forum.  I've started a new piece for my portfolio.  I thought this would be a more simple anatomical (and clothing piece).  Right now I want to make sure I'm getting his proportions right before I start secondary forms.  Please let me know if you see anything wrong proportionally.  That's what this critique is about.

Since I couldn't find any pics of Don Cheedle without a shirt (of course), I used this model as a reference:

I've sculpted out the secondary forms on his anatomy.  Once again keep in mind, he will be wearing a polo shirt and jeans.  Your feedback is welcome and again, please respond if you can.  Otherwise I'll think I'm approaching this perfectly...Here's a face close-up.

Don Cheadle shares a similar body morph with Lance Reddick.  And Lance Reddick has been naked before.  I'd recommend looking for nude Lance Reddick if you need reference.

Hey, looking good for a block out, I think you should make his shoulders a little bigger to match how thick his thighs are. Maybe also add a bit more meat to his butt which seems kinda small in comparison to his large back muscles. 

Viewing from the front side, his Ankles and forearms are to thick. If you skinny up his ankles a bit it should look good. 
For the Forearms, either make them smaller compared to his biceps, or make the biceps even buffer.

Just some quick suggestions, I made a ugly mock up.

Thank you Brian, I will look into using Lance Reddick for bodily reference.  And thank you Plasmidgene for those suggestions.  Your mock-up isn't that ugly, lol.

I did some more work on his silhouette and made him more slim.  Hopefully this looks a little more like a Don Cheadle body.  I also took some time to block out some more muscles, using scans that I found for reference.  Once again, your feedback is needed and welcome.

Okay, here is another silhouette pass.  I tweaked his proportions quite a bit and I also went back to his arms and neck area.  Hopefully his primary forms continue to improve.  Once again, please comment if you have any crucial feedback, otherwise he can't improve.
