Drawing tips
- In side sitting the hips tip toward the folded legs; the spine curves back to keep the head upright.
- For W-sitting the knees point forward and the shins fan out beside the hips, so draw the thighs first.
- Check that the lower legs stay hidden behind the thighs from the front view.
