I'm completely lost on where I should put the arms for a side-view

Anatomy Question / Discussion

So far, I've only ever drawn characters front facing and I've been trying to do a side-view, but I'm stuck at a pretty .. important part. I just don't know how to draw the arms. I guess the left arm could be out of view, with just the hand poking out underneath the chair, but I have no idea on how I can do it for the right hand.

I'm aware the proportions aren't exactly right, I'm just posting this a bit early so I can get advice while I fix a bit the sketch (make the torso bigger and the thighs a bit bigger/more spread apart)
