Tuesday Tips - “Don’t just stand there!” A surprisingly simple yet challenging exercise. Try to draw as many standing poses of a simple character. Try not using props or things to lean on. It will make the exercise more fulfilling. Go through your first ideas quickly. Get those out so you can start thinking more specifically about how a character would behave or feel if he/she was cold, impatient, worried, late, hurt, angry, etc. We often forget that the whole body is engaged in expressing a feeling. Also, more technically, it forces you think of weight distribution (makes your poses more solid and believable). As always, stay loose and do it fast to surprise yourself with what you come up with.---Griz and Norm
