Can anybody offer general tips on how to determine which part of the bean should be in front? I've also attached specific examples I had trouble with: 1.) It looks like she's sticking out her hips toward us, but Stan drew the top part in front. 2.) She looks level and not tilting forward or backward, but Stan drew the bottom part in front. 3.) Same as #2, she looks kind of level, but Stan drew the bottom part in front.

Hi, I've just started the "Figure Drawing Fundamentals" course, and I had a few questions on the "30-Second Pose" exercises. Am I supposed to be trying to get the body proportions correct or just focus on drawing the flow? It doesn't seem like Stan is deliberately focusing on body proportions, but after I draw, my proportions are way off. (I know there's a million Youtube videos on proportions, but Stan hasn't went over it in this course yet.) Is it okay to sketch using multiple lines, or should I be using one solid line to draw each part like Stan does? Have you found it more helpful for you to do the 30-second pose before seeing what Stan does, or recreating what he does? When I try to draw before seeing what he does, my drawings looks terrible. (Since I'm a beginner, I obviously don't expect my actual drawing to look as good as Stan's, but I'm also not "seeing" what I'm supposed to be drawing like he does.) But when I try to recreate what he's doing, I find myself more focused on his drawing techniques than the actual model.
