Hi there! Great job with this gesture! I think the key would have been to tilt the box representing the torso a little more, so we can see more of its top plane. You were close :) These kinds of poses can be really tricky to break down because of the strong foreshortening and overlapping forms. The way I approach them is by simplifying everything into basic shapes and trying to make those shapes fit together in a way that makes sense in 3D space. Sometimes, you might even need to adjust the pose a little to help the different forms fit together more clearly. Hope this helps!

I dont know how to draw the figure when its bended such as this when the torso is kinda moving back a bit. I am in a earlier stage of figure-mainly gesture. How can i draw poses such as the reference with a structure i can repeat for other poses?
