Short notes for this construction
1
Keep the rib cage as a tilted egg; the sternum points slightly toward the viewer.
2
Let the pelvis counter-rotate against the shoulders to protect the weight shift.
3
Near knee overlaps the far thigh; that overlap is doing more work than extra contour lines.
Study notes
Keep your eye on the construction, not the finish
