In a human figure the shoulders are very narrow and the hips excessively wide. What should be done in realistic study?

Correct answer: Reference measurements of shoulder and hip widths should be taken

Realistic figure drawing depends on checking the proportion of major body parts against a reference, pose or measured observation. Comparing shoulder width with hip width helps identify and correct the imbalance instead of relying on guesswork. Therefore, option A is correct. Changing colours, erasing the background or darkening lines does not correct the underlying anatomical proportion.
