Ever see a sculpture of, say, a nude woman sitting, with a perfectly round bottom? Looks nice right? Yes, except for the fact that one thing was not accounted for: gravity. Unless she weighs practically nothing, her bottom should be pressed against that which she's sitting on. That should also apply to other parts of the body as well. It's just one observation I've made in a few various sculptures lately as I myself delve further into it, and a good reminder, at least in the area of realism. If it's surreal, hey do as you please, there's no limits, her bottom could be square or triangle shaped if you want! I understand that some artists may be trying to portray a certain kind of aesthetic in their work, but I'll admit myself, I do find a certain aesthetic in a woman with all her various curves and shapes that are portrayed in various positions, and not just one. :)
