                                                                                                                             The twist of a model is most easily and
                                                                                                                             expressively captured if it is exaggerated.
                                                                                                                             Most of us have a tendency to over-straighten
                                                                                                                             the drawn figure, and this should be avoided

                                   Tilt

                                                                           A model standing on one leg usually drops
                                                                           the opposite hip. The tilt of the pelvis is then
                                                                           counterbalanced by the model's shoulders
                                                                           tilting the other way (as seen here).

Movement
  Here, the activity of circular lines and the
 repetitionof limbs suggest movement. This

  drawing shows how different observations
     be overlaid to bring a drawing alive.
