So you don’t have to rely on instinct, always check in this order. Four letters, ISLP:
I, Iris. Round, no deformation. And read its reflection: it tells you what light was there. If that light makes no sense with the rest, the image is lying.
S, Skin. Real pores, not a suffocatingly clean uniformity or freckles laid down like a stencil.
L, Light and shadow. They must make sense in context. One sun for the whole scene. No shadow without a body to cast it.
P, Physics. The laws must hold. Blur that’s gradual, not a 2D backdrop. Glasses with lenses, a bridge and arms. Optics and framing that could live together in a camera.

My
understanding is that I need to pull in my belly button and try to bring my ribs together near my stomach, while at the same time pushing out my upper chest and tightening the muscles in my mid-back to bring my shoulder blades together, and then, finally, preserving the arch in my lower back. I hope I’ve captured this correctly and that these are the four main things I need to remember for maintaining good posture and for picking up heavy objects.
Another way to think about it is to think of your spine as bamboo not a bendy straw.
