Drawing for animation pt4

The posing and angle of your character is important, as it can add a sense of urgency, mystery or any other emotion you wish to convey in your animation.


Here are three examples of the same pose but from different angles.
The left side image, the character is pointing behind the viewer, adding a sense of mystery and possibly fear, showing that they can see something that the viewer doesn't. The use of foreshortening is needed here to show they are reaching out to the viewer.

Upper right image, a profile shot. The partially obscured face adds a sense of mystery by not showing us the entire character and their features.

Lower right image, 3/4 view. I feel this is the most effective shot. It gives a sense of action, using both foreshortening and obscuring the face. The hand being closer to the viewer in the way the angle falls draws you into the scene more.
