How low can you go? If you’re flexible enough, you’re probably capable of squatting all the way down like the characters in these illustrations! Sometimes known as the “resting squat” or “flat-footed squat,” this position is often assumed by people who want to relax but don’t want their butts to touch the ground. Characters drawn in a deep-squat position can also feel more approachable, as they will likely have their guard down while in this pose. Moreover, doesn’t this pose create a beautiful silhouette you can’t help but trace with your eyes?
