This is an issue that will give me trouble. When I go to life drawing sessions, I've tried to stand for the 20 minute poses, but started to poop out, and had to keep standing because everything looks different from a sitting position. I have an artificial leg on one side, and an artificial hip on the other, so long-term standing isn't easy.

When I begin to paint, I'll probably get some kind of stool that sits me at my standing height (I'm very short, so that'll be easy). That way, I can stand when I need to, without messing up my vantage point.

If I had my choice, I'd stand more. The Whitaker Waltz seems like an excellent tool for capturing realism. Can't do that sitting down.
