Various Positions of Standing

When a man is positioned on the right foot, where previously the left one rested, the right hip also swings out. This shows the symmetry in stance and posture, which is generally balanced. Notice further that even if the image appears to rest equally on both feet, most of the weight actually falls on the right. The left foot provides only slight support or assistance by chance, such that the body's weight shifts from between the collarbones, descending beside the inner ankle of the right foot, as seen through the subtle line extending from the pit of the neck. Observe that the outward swung hip creates a weight outside the designated weight line, which we should not overlook, as the counterbalance is achieved by the bent left leg. This left leg, though bearing most of the weight against the right leg, holds more weight because it is farther from the weight line. Therefore, this helps to balance the weight of the overhanging hip and maintain the body's entire weight around the midpoint of the weight line, allowing the man to remain elegantly standing. Keep in mind that if this same figure moved to the other side, meaning standing from right to left foot, the balance between the hip and leg would shift, maintaining a well-proportioned stance according to this choice.
