I'm not 100% sure, but I'd say the elbow is a bit too pointy, and I think the leg itself is okay, but the foot on the end of it is pointing in a weird direction. It's pointing down a bit much, and should be pointing a bit more towards the viewer.

It looks to me like his elbow is too high up. It should be much closer to his leg.

The head may also be a little small, but I usualy make mistakes about head sizes so don't quote me on that.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Excellent! A definite improvement in all areas, and I can see no flaws at all now. I also like the extra scenery and objects you've added, they give the picture more life, especially the drain. And I know whatever I imagine the final product to be, I'll still be surprised and blown away by it. I look forward to its completion :)

Looks great, can't wait for the colored version. Only nitpick I can find is his right hand. Doesn't look quite right to me, somehow...

Very Good, but you need to work balance on the wall because I could see the left line is little higher than the right. But it still very good pic. So I give you four and the half smiles: :) :) :) :) Image.

Wow! This looks really fine and pretty much clean.

But I think the trash bag has to be more rounder.
