Not bad! I think the heads are a little small...

Thanks. Heheh.

I saw other illustrations and I understand that the clothing was loose and the pants were billowing pantaloons of sorts? I did deliberately set to make them look bulky. Hmm.. I may increase the head size in subsequent drawings. Heheh. Thanks for the feedback.

Incidentally, you do know that for superhero drawings, their titan proportions do dictate that the heads are small, right? I haven't done superhero stuff yet. So... Heheh.

This book illustrates the size of those uniforms. Thus... Oversized? I think they are padded for protection.
