Primary study focus
Compare two arms at different distances while keeping their connections to the same shoulder girdle readable.
30-second exercise
Block both hand masses and compare their apparent size. Mark the shoulders and connect each arm with a simple directional line before adding contours.
2-minute exercise
Trace each wrist, forearm and upper arm separately back to the torso. Compare the overlaps and apparent lengths, then check the gap between the arms. Do not force the two hands or arms to match in size simply because they belong to one figure.
