Study this image

Action or movement: upward reach
Camera angle: High view · near hand
Primary study focus: Study the change in apparent scale from the raised hand to the torso and lower body under a high camera.
30-second exercise: Place the nearest hand or arm mass first, followed by the head, rib cage and pelvis. Compare how their apparent sizes change as they recede.
2-minute exercise: Build the reaching arm as connected volumes. Compare its overlaps with the head and torso, then place the lower body as a more distant group. Use the image boundaries and visible gaps to check depth instead of lengthening the arm to match a front-view anatomy diagram.
Difficulty: Advanced
Foreshortening: Strong
