I enjoy the negative space aspect you’re playing with a much brighter value in your background and the red tint flowing in your subject, it feels at a glance the character is in a brightly artificial lit room like a club.
Aside from anatomy structure practice mentioned in this thread (skeleton>muscle>fat >clothing) I’d suggest continue exploring global illumination, pic related imagine the light pouring from your bright background into your subject - light rays bounce around and the color source bleeds into objects depending on their material qualities, you’re already applying this but do push it more. Look into subsurface scattering you can dial up this quality in this drawing.
For the pose itself it seems a tad forced, take a picture of yourself putting on a glove and pay attention to your posture and feel your own body if the pose feels comfortable or not, it does depend though if you want your subject to appear like they’re posing for a photo shoot but if your angle is for a more relaxed and natural approach then lowering the hand positions and adjusting them for more foreshortening so it doesn’t compete attention wise with the face may help in establishing this spontaneous incognito photo aspect of it, same applies for the leg positioning even if your final piece is cropped it’s always beneficial drawing the full subject first to achieve your subject being grounded in space.
