If you understand what's going on in the under-structure, then what's on the surface becomes easier to define.
However, sometimes. It can be quite incalculable.

When one caricature is finished another one begins, but often we draw so long on the finished caricature that we do not see the one that has started up for us.

I've come to realize that the rather large number of people who I assumed love coffee, in reality love half & half.  Highly sweetened half & half.  I see this evidenced by their ordering of a large coffee, walking to the supply bar, pouring half or more of their coffee into the trash then immediately refilling their cup with creamer and packets upon packets of sugar.
ugh ---blehhh...
I guess it's a clever way for them to get warm ice cream...

The concept of 'Thrust' is essential to the gesture of the pose and to the basic body language communicated.  Without attention to this visual force, one ends up with a collection of discordant butterflies.
...and that's a poor way to live your life.
