I envy your confidence, but your construction and proportions are abysmal.

First thing: your dude shouldn't be 7 heads tall when his knees are bent, it means you're stretching parts of his body in order to reach that mark considering he's all in the same perspective.

Are you following any materials/methods or just feeling things out on your own? There's very simple ways to construct the various body parts and then put them together. You're over-complicating some parts, under-complicating others, and then holding them together with toothpicks and glue. A good example is your lack of understanding on how the head works. Pic related is Loomis' excellent explanation for the construction of the head. Skim his books and look at the diagrams, there's a reason they're recommended for beginners.

If this is your second day overall of formally learning to draw, you should focus on individual parts and fundies instead of trying to draw figures. I'm not saying you have to just draw boxes in perspective or whatever, draw simpler forms and then try putting together different shapes to create individual body parts. Drill each part until you find a really good way to build it before moving on to another one.

You can't build a cabin directly from trees, the trees have to be cut down and shaped into the right lumber before they can form a proper structure. Likewise, you won't learn anything from trying to draw the human figure if you don't understand construction and form first.
