The legs up to the waist look fine, but I don't believe the fingers on his right hand should be facing the viewer. The torso being hidden within the upper portion of his seemingly-oversized gi gives the illusion that his chest lacks any sort of muscular definition. That alone wouldn't be a problem, except this Akuma also has a rounded, chubby face and his neck is completely hidden by Goutetsu's prayer beads, rather than hanging down his chest a bit. It all makes him look more like a teenager cosplaying as the guy. There's a lot of official artwork for Akuma though, and the proportions of everything on him changes with each piece, so it's difficult to pinpoint which one(s) you referenced for your illustration (I know it's not lion's mane Akuma in SFV, at least).

I didn't peg you for a Street Fighter fan. Is Akuma whom you usually play as or do you just like his design? For SFII, SFIV, and in various spin-off fighters, I preferred using Zangief. I didn't touch SFV. That game was a mess at launch and wants too much money for its cosmetics. I got SFIV in a Humble Bundle, or else I wouldn't have played it, either.

Thanks for critique! Very long and informative.
There is a lot wrong with this, I'll admit. But I mostly treated it as a warm up drawing to help me get back into the flow of drawing as I've felt like I've been under performing as of late. But that doesn't invalidate my errors, so thanks :) It's true i just skipped the torso part and if I drew it, it could have added volume and weight to it.

Street Fighter is my favorite gaming franchise :) I love the characters, art overall, and games themselves. Lol nah. I just like Akuma for his design but even more so his role in the lore of the game. His relationship to Ryu is great and he's a relatively interesting character. I can't stand fighting Akuma in most of the games as he's usually very powerful with good frame data. I'm not a very good player tho.
I like Zangief but prefer Hugo when it comes to the grapplers. I agree with you on sf5. Such a shame they rushed it out the door. It's definitely gotten better over the years but I'm still looking forward to the sequel more so.
My favorite characters are probably Makoto, Adon, Hugo, Rose, Dan, and Dudley
