Skinning test

I have started to test how I will skin my puppet. As I dicovered from animation testing that the armature with the 0.9mm wire is of new use I am using this for the skinning so I can continue to animate with the good armature.
I had some tights material in a grainy grey colour that I liked and would animate well which I have attached to one of the legs. This works well with movement and is tight to the leg which is good as I want him to look as slender as possible.

I tried a stretchy wool material on the right hand arm which I had in mind for his jacket, however this was harder to work with and was therefore harder to get tight to his arm alike to the material on the leg.
On his left arm I tried wrapping sporting injury foam dipped in latex, however this also appeared bulkier than the leg material aswell.

Currently I am thinking I might keep the material on the leg and get a similar material but in a different colour for the top half.
