Action or movement: jump preparation
Camera angle: Side view
Primary study focus: Study the compact preparatory shape and the relationship between the torso lean, bent legs and backward arm position.
30-second exercise: Block the bent-leg silhouette and the direction of the torso. Add the arms as two simple lines. Show the compressed preparation rather than drawing an already airborne figure.
2-minute exercise: Compare the angles of the shins, thighs and torso. Place the visible foot contacts, then refine the arm positions and the space between the torso and legs. Keep the head connected to the body gesture instead of treating it as a separate portrait.
Difficulty: Beginner
Foreshortening: Mild
