    If you'll continue drawing without reference, try adding the abs right after doing the chest to calculate where do the intimate parts go (don't need to worry about drawing these though) and then draw the legs around that area. Also, the hands usually start where legs separate (if the arms are straight) and are like 2/3 of the forearm's length (but it depends). Finally, keep in mind that feet also sum up height, so this character would end up being more than 2 meters tall. However, this is one of the best heads you've drawn and the width of the top of the torso seems right, so keep going!
    I think I'll add a list of the proportions I've noticed since I started drawing (if you start from the head again):
    - The chest muscles are aprox. the same size of the circle you draw for the head. They also are located right below the clavicles and connect to the bicep
    - The shoulders end aprox. at the height where the chests end.
    - Each ab (I don't even know if this way of calling it is correct, but I assume you know what I mean) has aprox. 1/3 the size of the chest (if six pack). Note: this varies A LOT anyways.
    - There's like a triangular muscle located right below the abs wich almost duplicates the size of the six pack and goes all the way down to the #####. Also the legs start around it at like 1/2 of its height (talking about the triangular muscle)
    - The legs (counting from below the triangular muscle down to the knee) are aprox. the size of the torso up to the top of the abs.
    - The calf muscles (all of them, not just the big one) are aprox. the same size of the quads.
    - The feet are aprox. 1/3 the size of all the calf muscles and start from the ankle.
    And for the arms:
    - The shoulder occupies basically 1/2 of the arm's length (not counting the forearm).
    - The elbow is located aprox. at the same height of the waist.
    - The forearm (down to the wrist only) has aprox. the length of the shoulder and bicep combined.
    - The hand in its natural state has aprox. 1/2 of the length of the forearm (including the elbow when rotated 90°), but extended could be a bit more. Also, keep in mind that the max area that the fingers can cover should be similar to the face's area.
    Finally, if you're planning to add height to the character, focus on extending the length of the quads first, then the calf muscles and after that the length of the all the abs combined (and adapt the arms to the waist). Hope it helps!

      I probably won't draw a lot without reference but thanks for all the proportions that should help

      there are people who would sell this comment as an pdf for 10 (currency of choice). But that's all good advice
