I don't know if you know this character

This is my first attempt in weaving with 350s, and it isn't good, i know.
The proportions aren't good too, his arms are very too long. Hairs are too short.
There is so much bad things, that I hesitate to post this picture, but I do because I love this manga since his first french broadcasting and I still do.

Magicseb, if that's your first attempt at weaving it's pretty good :)

In weaving with 350s, yes. but I already do weaving with 260s.

It's the first time I do something with 350s and I've started with weaving, not a very good choice, I think

hi Magicseb, you are right, the arms are a little long but the body is very good.
One suggestion to make it look specifically like son goku himself and not just any super hero, is to use a round balloon, attaching the nose before you inflate, like Thelma has shown before, and using raisins to attach the hair.
Then you would have a blank face which you could draw on his distinct features and he would be instantly recognisable.

Son Goku is a young character and i think you would capture this more with artwork.
I do hope this helps, sorry to be picky. :)

Thank you Mandy for suggestions, what size of round balloon do you recommand me to make the head, I ask you that because I usually use round just to make eyes.
For raisins, do you think I have to put 3 (2 for ears and 1 in the top of the head), or just 2 for ears?

This version is an adult version of Goku like on this picture:



But next time I will maybe doing a young version or a "super Sayian" version

hmmmm...

thinking it over... his hair would be a good place to use the undipped 321s..... they have that pointy feeling to them......

I'll try that later... thanks for the inspiration!!!!!! :D

Thank you for idea, I haven't thinking at those 321. It's very good idea, I will certainly get a bag at Millenium
