I created an example you can find here

Basically, it's when a character is sitting on a flat surface where one leg is out straight (not illustrated in link) and the other one is propped-up so the character can rest their arm on it, pose for "The Thinker", etc.

I'd like to look up some pictures here for reference for one of my next pieces (and rest assured, I won't upload it unless Vincent van Gogh himself rises from his grave and gives it an 18th-century equivalent of a thumbs-up. You'll be able to find it on my website.)

One_leg_crossed? This is the thinker pose, so I am only going off your reference.

Okay, perhaps "The Thinker" was a bad example, but the knee would be bent like that. His legs would be flat on the ground except for the one that would be propped-up.

See example #2

crossed_legs. How they're crossed doesn't really matter.

That looks more like one leg raised now, but here is a attempt to describe:

One leg is dangling, or directly touching the ground, and the other one is on the front of the seat with the knee at an angle (instead of the normal 90* you have between upper and lower leg when seated, with the knee being the tip of the angle, the lower leg is higher, maybe at a 45* angle), neither touching the ground nor the seat of the chair, but somewhere between?

If so, I have no idea. I'd try to say one_leg_raised, but that may be incorrect.

The legs wouldn't be crossed. For example, my character's right foot would be on the ground close to where his left knee it (hence making the bent-knee arch I illustrated), and it wouldn't be crossed over.

Oh, I see. The drawing made it a little hard to tell which side of the leg the foot was on.

Perfect example of what I had meant: [!]

(Sorry, my description probably should've been a bit better)

I'm pretty sure we don't have a tag for something this specific. It's gonna be a variant of on_back/on_side, often with pinup or the occasional draw_me_like_one_of_your_french_girls.
