Study this image
- Primary study focus
- Follow the overlap from the crossed upper leg and shoe to the supporting thigh, then compare the floor leg with the chair seat.
- 30-second exercise
- Draw the chair seat, the two leg directions and the two shoe shapes. Mark which leg sits in front.
- 2-minute exercise
- Add simple thigh and lower-leg masses, then check the gap beneath the crossed shoe and the floor-foot position. Leave hidden leg connections open.
- Self-check question
- Can a viewer tell which leg crosses in front and which foot reaches the floor without extra shading?
- Reference limitation
- Trousers and the crossed leg conceal part of the hip and ankle contact. Follow visible overlaps rather than guessing a hidden joint position.
