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.
