Leaning forward

6 poses

Forward-leaning poses: hands on knees, touching the shins, arms dangling, one leg lifted behind. Drawn from five angles for practicing a bent torso and a tilted pelvis.

Includes: lean · bend over

Drawing tips

  • Bend at the hip joint first; the spine only rounds once the hips stop folding.
  • The hips move back as the chest moves forward, so the figure keeps its balance over the feet.
  • From the front, the chest overlaps the belly and the head sits low between the shoulders.
