Primary study focus
Compare the larger nearer foot and receding lower leg with the torso, the other leg and the block behind them.
30-second exercise
Place the near foot as one mass, then the torso and the floor foot. Compare apparent sizes before drawing toes.
2-minute exercise
Connect the near foot through simple shin and thigh masses using visible edges, then compare the overlap with the block and the other knee. Keep the rear torso scale consistent.
Self-check question
Does the near foot read as closer because of size and overlap, while its leg still has a readable path back to the seated body?
Reference limitation
The extended leg is lifted, while the other foot and block provide visible support. This generated perspective reference does not establish exact limb proportions or joint anatomy.
