Primary study focus
Compare the head and shoulder direction with the seated hip area and two thigh directions; use the block as a stable shape beneath the turn.
30-second exercise
Place the block top, pelvis shape and shoulder direction. Add the head turn as one short directional mark.
2-minute exercise
Block the rib cage and pelvis separately, then check the gap beside the crossing forearm and the visible thigh angles. Keep the torso connection readable.
Self-check question
Can you distinguish the upper-body turn from the seated lower-body direction without making the rib cage and pelvis disconnected?
Reference limitation
The crossing arm hides part of the chest. Do not reconstruct hidden joints or toe detail.
