Human Anatomy: Figure 1

The bent leg still shows the shape of the knee even as it bends away from us, while the focus point of the image, the front arm gives the most attention to detail, with the detail of the elbow and muscles of the arm, as well as the fold as the hand points directly at us, is contrast with the simplicity of the back and the leg. With very few lines on them, just simply the outline and a few structural aspects to give the impression of the twist in the body and the sag of the skin. The twist in the body is also revealed by the difference between the angle of the hips and the angle of the shoulders. The hips are closer to a profile view while the shoulders almost straight on, though the left side of the figure is visible the twist creates a difference in angle of visibility between the top and lower halves. The torso also reveals a slight lean to its right and the higher right shoulder and more solidly drawn arm leave the impression of weight being leant on it. Her weight is on her right hand so by contrast the right hand been draw resting more lightly.
