Mannequin sketch progress

I wanted to save each layer of image development so that I could maybe have a few of them visible in the final image. These are all the steps I’ve taken so far with this design.

My intent is to draw a figure in the middle of putting herself together; specifically, attaching her thigh to the rest of her body.

The pose is definitely male-gaze-friendly, which will (hopefully) work in my favour… On one hand, if I have her eyes looking at the viewer, it’s confrontational; otherwise, the fact that she’s putting her idealised body together can reference my overall theme of changing oneself to please society.
