nice figure for your first.
if i could advice you a bit it would be beneficial for you to work from a good anatomy chart to keep the figure within proportions,looking at the figure the legs are out of proportion as are the feet.you will improve with every figure so dont take this too negative and keep sculpting you are doing well.

Hello Abhijit,

Welcome to the Planet and thank you for sharing your first sculpt with us.

Your figure shows a great balance, a most commendable feature for a good sculpt.

Of course, there are a few parts which are misplaced or out of proportion but it's no big deal as you'll see (and correct) them as you progress.

Looking forward to the next step.

All the best,
Quang
