I'm kind of a beginner when it comes to poses and uh, dinamism, how do you come out with your poses? It just comes to mind or do you find some pose and use it in your drawings? I feel like I have no imagination when it comes to it, and when I do, I cant find the right reference so I'm lost at anatomy
it’s part of imagination and part reference. without getting too long winded, it helps to have a general understanding of anatomy and how the body can look in perspective. but for dynamic poses it’s important to just capture the gesture of the pose so you can really feel movement i guess… like try drawing with your whole arm and doing your first sketch in a minute or less! the more your refine a piece, you’ll be tightening it up and losing some of the strong gesture so don’t be afraid to really push it at first
the soulburner drawing was mostly from imagination (i started with a photo ref but ditched it immediately) but like you can see in the process video i did a bunch of really fast, exaggerated sketches of the pose before reeling it in to something more tight and toned down
alternatively- i’ve been wanting to experiment more with dynamic poses which has led me to a bad habit of impulse buying pose collection books from a japanese bookstore near me
i only have fighting pose collections but they’re really good to pull from! i don’t usually copy the poses exactly and just use them for reference so it’s pretty handy and versatile. most of them include both clothed and semi-clothed reference of the same actions which is also neat
these books can be kind of expensive but there are a lot of free pose sites and collections around the internet as well (for example off the top of my head, senshistock)
but yeah i’m kinda talking out of my ass so i hope this gives you a couple ideas (´ . .̫ . `)
