Hi,

I try to add more details for my figure, done some carving job.

Dragon's one with Legend head.

I use some motor tools, and a point of the #11 xacto blade.

So, maybe you can help with some tips, I think that I overdone some of the job, what did you think?

Al comments and tips are welcome.

TIA

Álvaro

Alvaro,
It's hard to get a feel for the difference without having a "before" photo to compare, but it looks like you've done a nice job with the pants. I'm not much of a figure modeler, but I think if you focused some effort on his collar that would make a really big difference.

As Mark said the collar could use some help. Consider the sleeves and wrist. To me the sleeves look short and the wrists stick out too far. That said coveralls are not necessarily proportioned to fit everyone (trust me I wear them at work and each pair fits differently ). Consider working with the wrists to define the cuff and maybe show less wrist. I think you will get more "bang for your buck" working with the collar and cuffs.

In my opinion the pants look good though.
