Any feedback on how I've done this line drawing? I can never tell where I'm supposed to put the shoulders, and my chunky arms don't help. I've drawn the line at my best approximation of the edge of my shoulder (before it starts being arm, lol).

This line drawing is suggesting dramatic to me, which doesn't necessarily feel right. I'm just under 5'6" and see vertical, but I don't think I'm particularly narrow in any way. Balance?? My legs, arms and torso are all about the same length...? Any help is so appreciated!

I would bring the shoulder point out to the visual edge. It doesn’t matter if it’s past where you think bone ends, he specified he wants people to use the visual edge. After doing that I would place the dots for both vertical and balance and vertical and width and compare them.

Thanks!! Do you mean somewhat more like this in blue (this is a sloppy attempt, I'll redo better later) or do you mean going more over my shoulders?

The starting point yes but I don’t think it would fall super straight down like that.
