Week 12 - Weight and balance

These are my sketches for the topic of "balance and weight". The top-right one shows the weight of the body centered between the legs of the person. Also, it may be faint, but the leg going back is also bent in the knee, moving the weight away from the heel and to the toes. The hands aid in keeping the balance by moving the center of weight slightly forward.
The drawing on the bottom right also shows the model in a balanced position, using his leg to support himself from falling on his back and using his arms to keep from tipping on his front.
The top middle drawing shows the model in a slightly unbalanced position. Keeping the feet close to each other and supporting himself on only the feet and his behind, the model is left with balancing his weight over a thin line between the behind and the feet. Having the knees wide separated spreads the weight over a wider area across the line of balance. In addition, the model does not have any support behind him. Having the torso straight up keeps the weight very close to the back, so there's the chance of tipping on his back.
