Studying different poses


ANGRY POSE


The characteristics of an 'angry pose' are frown, wrinkled nose, tight shoulders etc. I studied a few other characters and then decided to pick some traits and adapt it to my character model.



STRONG POSE


I picked this pose depicting one of the postures used in Yoga. It requires immense concentration, and strength to maintain this pose for a while bhefore falling down on the floor. This is the image that came into my mind when I thought of an action that requires strength.

WEAK POSE


The common things I noticed with 'weak' is that the camera is usually placed above eye level but I wanted to try doing it at eye level or below that. By making her sit on the floor she is reduced in size, hence, making her feel smaller and weak visually.


'THOUGHT' POSE

Chris obviously warned us about NOT doing the classic 'thought' pose. I was observing and realised that men usually scratch their head while thinking. That was a little too much for me to do at the moment. So I picked this melodramatic version of the 'thought' pose.
