michel: thank you so much  ;)  ...... nothing to hide here, just i m deadly weak to do photos  ::) i use mobile phone and the shadow is me during the late night in the kitchen  ;D
good point. firts i have painted the trousers close to final version but it looked too flat. i did not like and i repainted it to previous published version and as i wrote, i was not satisfied again. i did all day thinkin in the work  :D  how to paint the roundness  in 2 or 3 mm ?  ;D   i think you re right that at least i could add a little dark grey on the back side of the leg  :-X  which def help to create an ilusion of 3d. :)

Hello,

One could think that the darkness of the picture posted was intented to hide the small uncompleted détails of the painting, so I tried to bring up some rebalancing of the lights, and the picture reveals a very beautiful work !!

Congratulations, outstanding painting very well balanced in tones & shadows !! 
All shadows are given, even on the floor .....



the only detail due to sculpture, but which could be perhaps painted in "trompe-l'oeil" is the flatness of the bak leg muscles, rather flat, even with a strange shape recessed in the main thigh instead of a positive roundness .. and sharp roundness of its back keeping the structure of a flat, but this is used and emphasized by some other painters too as a style.
