Starting with the proportion, the anatomy appears mostly correct however with the musculature the trapezius muscles appear to thick in conjunction with the rest of the body along with the gracilis muscles appearing to thin, this in turn makes the rest of the leg look to thin.
Moving onto the pose, it's a dynamic pose as we can see the figure's weight lean onto his left foot in order to balance himself as the right foot is about to lift up, it's also an open pose as the arms aren't completely closed by the side of his body.
The anatomy of the face has also been considered and this assists in the expression and mood of the piece as he looks on into the distance.
The lighting on the figure is direct and this causes a terminator line down the middle of the body where light is transitioning to darkness, highlights are also considered, an example of this is on the thigh area on his right leg.
The shadow on the piece is both casted and self shadowed, examples of casting would be his stomach area where as the self shadowing would be his right arm since his body is blocking it from the light, the chiaroscuro is best seen to the figures right side of his body.
By using light and shadow it helps reinforce the form of the person and this also effects the soft material of which is skin, the contrast is high in this piece and that increases the depth.
Constructively his left hand appears to thick in proportion to his wrist along with his left foot looking to small in proportion to the rest of the body, there also appears to be a limited amount of vertical mark making in the piece.
