Description
I was asked on tumblr on posing and gestures for characters! Posted it there and well it's about time to update my last tutorial/reference and here are some of my suggestions! Like I said on tumblr, please springboard from this. By no means should you follow this EXACT, totally practice it if you'd like. I made it pretty general because I work off from this. I change the line quality, style,etc. along the way. If you use a pose in particular just credit please?Β
That's about it, it's no problem for me if you use this because duh! I really hope it helps! There are some typos and mistakes because I made this in no less than an hour and pretty fast. If any questions, let me know!

Thank you for making this,It's really helpful! I need to work on poses
Actually, do have any other tips for drawing poses with two people? I've been struggling a lot with that.

I don't recall if I had posted it here but I had some references on drawing two people interacting. But I will definitely shoot for making a new one and address that!
What I always find that helps is to (easy on digital but having some trace/transparent paper for traditional) draw the two characters individually. Instead of looking at it a whole (I get lost in limbs!) draw them individually and then put them together! Taking it one step at a time can ultimately make this BIG (drawing and finishing two chars. is a lot!) drawing much easier. Once together you can make finishing adjustments to bring it home.
We always had one model and our instructor will tell us to draw all the poses they do as different people on the same plane. Same technique! Hope it helps but I do plan to make a new reference/tutorial. I appreciate the suggestion!

Yeah,that might be helpful!
Unfortunately I use traditional but I'll try doing that at some point. I've tried digital and it just doesn't work for me. By the way,how many sketches do you generally do to get a good pose for one picture? I'm just curious cause I tend to do a lot of sketches before I draw the actual thing. .__.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out! You rock!

This is an amazing guide! My drawings no longer look like a bunch of animatronic robots wearing costumes,and for that, I must thank you.
I don't know if this is a weird question or not (Kinda new to the site),but do you mind at all if I mention this guide in a journal entry?

Thanks! You have some nice action lines going, but I really like the arms section the most. The shoulder blades drawing was also a really good hint on how to deal with drawing arms and shoulders.
