you are making a common mistake with your shading, you have given your character depth, but no real light-source. all your shading is what we call 'pillowshaded' where as you shade an object from the center outwards. I'd suggest imagining there is a light on the top right of your canvas.

Yes, you have trouble with shading and with his body too, his look a strange...
If you paint just stand in this position - it's first my sketch, but if you fight - maybe second variant be useful - it's just quick sketchs for understanding position hand and foot(or this link http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/andy-a.html (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/andy-a.html))

helloooo !!!

I open my eyes, and I notice that the old version sucks, so I make a new version, using the idea of mangust about the position (I use the second position)

here's my new version (I use the OVA's clothes) :

I hope you like it, because I'm really happy with the result.

honestly I like the first verision better.... mayby not in a anatmoy way but I think the first one is better.... Gon doesn't have that kind of muscles......

I think though you should make his shoulder bigger in the first verision...

well, I'm a noob, just my thoughts.... listen to Mangust anyway to learn the right proportions..
