Also the carrying angle of the arms is greater in woman than men. That
is, if arms are held straight down with palms facing forward, the angle
between directly down and where the forearm actually points is bigger in
women. (learnt THAT one in 2nd year genetics - who said science had no
artistic value?)

Certainly not Leonardo - who used autopsies for sketching. And the many
artists of prior centuries who sat in on medical classes - to see. Any good
artist who does figure drawing has to have an understanding of underlying
anatomy. Well, to be really good. How can you do movement, if you don't
understand the underlying structure?

Good point, Jacinta.
