I think you are missing the point.

I'm sure as you've been learning anatomy that you're realizing that proportions are relatively standard in bodies, and that some angles of positioning the body look better than others. Even in very stylized drawings, the bodies tend to be places with the least stylization--IE the places most likely to match up at random. In the comments people took the work of the OP herself and showed how ti could match up to pictures she may have never seen before, in some cases with several matching lines.

People aren't disagreeing because "it's just a LITTLE tracing" people are explaining that the evidence is lacking. Real, undeniable evidence would include limbs, hands, feet or facial features. Why? Because not only are these the most difficult areas to draw, they also tend to be very stylized and differ artist to artist. Notice that in every other tracing post, THESE were the places they got caught on? I'd be willing to be you can take mine or anyone elses art and find examples on par with the ones in this post by finding similar body types in similar poses. Of all areas, hips and waist make the least sense to trace, I'm sure in your anatomical studies you've probably noticed they're easy too.
