A black and white sketch of a male figure sitting with one leg extended, demonstrating foreshortening and anatomical structure.

Full Pose Description: 1. Orientation & Torso: • The figure is sitting on the ground, torso slightly leaning back. • The chest is subtly turned to the left (the figure’s right side), with the shoulder line slightly slanted. • The head is tilted downward and to their left, giving a relaxed or introspective vibe. • There’s a slight inward curve to the waist, emphasizing a natural, comfortable posture. 2. Arms: • Only the left arm (on the viewer’s right) is visible clearly. • It rests back behind the body, supporting the figure’s weight. • The elbow is bent and the hand appears off-frame or not yet detailed. 3. Legs: • Left Leg (viewer’s right): Bent up at the knee and pulled close to the body. • The thigh is upright, and the lower leg extends down with the foot flat on the ground. • Right Leg (viewer’s left): Extended outward toward the viewer in strong perspective (foreshortened). • The leg is bent slightly at the knee, but the angle makes the foot appear very large in the foreground, enhancing depth. 4. Feet: • Both feet are drawn in a blocky, simplified construction style, but with attention to 3D form. • The foot closer to the viewer (right foot) is much larger due to perspective and foreshortening, giving a dramatic, dynamic effect. • The other foot (left) is also large, but appears flatter due to its placement and angle. 5. Style & Notes: • The style is loose and sketchy with visible guidelines: a circle for the chest, lines for limb positioning, and facial division See more
