Study this image

Primary study focus
Compare the forward torso tilt with the chair seat and planted feet, keeping the hip area connected to the sitting surface.
30-second exercise
Draw the seat direction, the torso tilt and the two foot positions. Keep the chair and figure in the same small sketch.
2-minute exercise
Block the chest and pelvis, then compare the knee positions and the spaces between the lower legs and chair. Use the hands only as thigh-level masses.
Self-check question
Does your simplified torso lean forward while the hip area still reads as seated, rather than floating above the chair?
Reference limitation
The clothing hides the exact pelvis-to-seat contact. Study the visible outline and overlaps rather than a measured pressure or balance point.
