[1] A pleasing shape also implies good health and fitness of the body. Posture ...
Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body and lower body. A study of the shapes of over 6,000 women, carried out by researchers at the North Carolina State University circa 2005, [ 31 ] for apparel, found that 46% were rectangular, just over 20% spoon, just under 14% inverted triangle, and 8% hourglass.

The term can also refer to the act of producing such a drawing. The degree of representation may range from highly detailed, anatomically correct renderings to loose and expressive sketches.
It has been proposed by scientists that the evolutionary reason for the female body shape is due in part to this sexual selection.Sex-typical body shapes (a man's muscular physique and a woman's hourglass figure) are an outcome of evolutionary adaptation for reproductive fitness because they convey information about gene quality, health and fertility, which are important elements for mate ...
There are a number of important distances between reference points that an artist may measure and will observe: [1] These are the distance from floor to the patella; [a] from the patella to the front iliac crest; [b] the distance across the stomach between the iliac crests; the distances (which may differ according to pose) from the iliac crests to the suprasternal notch between the clavicles ...
In his exploration of the unconscious through art, Jung observed the common appearance of a circle motif across religions and cultures. He hypothesized that the circle drawings reflected the mind's inner state at the moment of creation and were a kind of symbolic archetype in the collective unconscious.
The earliest evidence of art was shell engravings made by Homo erectus 300,000 years before modern humans evolved. [370] Art attributed to H. sapiens existed at least 75,000 years ago, with jewellery and drawings found in caves in South Africa. [371] [372] There are various hypotheses as to why humans have adapted to the arts.
