Summary


In this chapter we have seen valuable methods for creating believable poses. By using photo references, we removed the guesswork and the stress caused by trying to imagine the right pose for a scene. After we use this approach a few times, we can gain great practice that, in time, will make the task of posing a figure enjoyable and effective.

In the next chapter, we are going to explore the power of morphs for creating not just variations of a character, but complete new figures.
