Difficulty Figuring Out Angle of Pelvic Box - Critique/Advice Appreciated!
2yr
@miaowen
Sometimes I get lost when trying to figure out the angle and dimensions of the pelvic box. Normally I try to use the ASIS or the beginnings of the legs to find the box's front plane and tilt, but in this case the left ASIS is completely covered by her right leg.
I am also confused as to whether the box is angled toward the left or the right. At first I thought it was tilted to the left (so that there's a side plane showing near the torso box), but I noticed later that there's a fold near the legs that might be the pubic area -- which means the plane should be showing on the left side instead?
What are some ways to accurately check the pelvic box angles when some of the landmarks are covered?
Any feedback is helpful!

Hey miaowen,
The pelvis can be particularly difficult to figure out. The reason is because of its downward tilt and the different ways the legs point in any given pose.
I did a quick diagram of what is happening in this pose. I also added a view from the front to show you what the legs are doing. I hope this helps :)

Oh my gosh thank you so much!! Yes your diagrams (and actually all of the diagrams I've seen you post on this forum) are extremely helpful :)
It's very educational seeing the pelvic box from that extra view. I was confused earlier about how the legs were affecting the tilt, but now it's super clear!
