If someone looks at your characters, maybe they only see a still, not even an animation, just a drawing, and they don’t talk about it ever, then your character is being ignored.
If that happens, ask yourself. Is my character in the best position it can be?
Next time you see someone showing you a character that you don’t find interesting, ask the author: “What is your character feeling?”
Most times than not, they would be surprised about the question and won’t be able to answer.
That is because they have no idea their character was supposed to be feeling something, they just wanted to draw a character.
No wonder they don’t know how to pose it. The character is drawn in a wrong pose.
Don’t let this happen to you.
To avoid it, decide two things.
Attitude and Intention.
From there, you can start working with a pose.
So, how do you practically get your characters to express emotion through an awesome pose?
Well, with the line of action.
