Posing the characters will help your understanding of balance and weight placement on a character. As with other exercises, try to mimic these actions yourself so you can feel (rather than imagine) the position the character is supposed to be in. For this exercise, we created poses with Adam (recommended), but you may also use Earl or Mira if you prefer. For each of these positions, pay attention to where the weight of your character is placed. If the exercise calls for the character to stand on one foot, then how much weight will one leg hold and what must the other body parts do in order for the character maintain its balance? When you pose the characters, it's good practice to look at the character from all viewpoints, not only orthographically (i.e., top, front, and side) but from a perspective as well. If the character does not look balanced, alter it until it is correct. |
