Hi, the Troll looks really small more like a goblin or something, its mainly to do with the size of the head I think. Creatures heads stay generally the same size as you scale the rest of them up, so a large troll would have a smaller head compared to the rest of its body. I would also spend some time practicing anatomy, do some quick sculpts copying from books or photos so you can get more knowledge on it overall. Just some thoughts, anyway Keep going man!
hmmm, i do practice a lot on anatomy but what you said about head size does not hold true in all cases. for example the troll from the lord of the rings:
give him a larger jaw to support tusks and it be about the same ratio as mine. I had a smaller head on him before and intentionally changed it because it didnt bring the feel i'd like.
Of course its not an absolute rule, just a general guideline. large creatures can have big heads and small creatures can have small heads, but unless your a really talented artist its hard to make it look convincing. Its also not just reliant on the head size but the rest of the characters body that conveys the size and weight. your character for instance has a big head but relatively small and meak body, where the lord of the rings troll has a large head but also a large and hefty frame to support it. Heres a few examples to give you an idea of what I mean:
See I think certain size that starts to disappear, this guy is supposed to be about 10' so I'm looking more for the props of your bottom left ones. What I think throws it a lil off is my choice to not to give him the usual bulky upper back\shoulders like but for jaw animation issues I made it a lil more flexible.

Yeah larger back/shoulders would have probably helped to make it look bigger. Its all stuff to consider for future models though as this one seems pretty much done, I look forward to see what you come up with next.
