Step 7

When you have completed the thigh and the calf of the second leg,
map in the location and length for the top of the arms for this pose.

With the chest in a near and far position, the arms are going to be

both on the chest and behind it. The arm on the near side can have

a shoulder cap.

Step 8
The arm on the near side of the pose with the shoulder cap is the

first one to draw. Bring the under armpit area into the chest. The

other arm on the far side will be partially hidden by the chest. Pencil

in some shadow on that partial upper arm so it will remind you of
how the thigh is also hidden.

Step 9
Here is where you sketch in the tapered lines of the waist that

connect the chest to the hips. You might also want to add in some

dotted lines to help you see the hidden sections of the limbs in this
pose.
