Heyhey, I'm here from ProjectComment!

I want to first say that I love your ballpoint style. It is very blueprint-expressive. The pose is really dynamic, but his feet don't look large enough to support him. A good point of reference for feet is the length of a person's forearm. Not his missing one, mind you XD. It's also nice to see more varied and relatable body types, with plush bums. I also didn't realise he had a CI until I looked at the tags, which is neat. Your sketch lines are very clean, but there are some distracting breaks in the hatching. I don't know if you do this already, but I was told in a calligraphy class (Ladiesssssss....) that lines should be pushed away from you and curves should be pulled towards you. It has helped when drawing too. 

You've captured the movement of the pose very well, but the juncture between the farthest shoulder and his neck is a little awkward. I have an undercut, so I was able to recognise his style right away. I also agree with the other commenter that more shading could be added to his curvatures. To really make the fabric definition pop. He looks like he has an interesting backstory and it leaves me wanting to know more. 

I don't think there's anything artistically wrong with him having "feminine" features. Not every man comes from the same mold. Babyfaces need love too! I also like that it looks like he has cateye liner on. Technically men usually have longer and fuller eyelashes than men, so "feminine" traits a lot of the time are just mimicing natural testosterone effect. Overall this is very nicely done and I'm sure more and more detail will come with sketching time.
