I still suck at action poses desu. I need to be doing more gesture drawing. I've been learning Japanese lately and I've been watching the videos on hide channel and 室井康雄(アニメ私塾)and they heavily emphasize croquis with basic trapezoid and cylinder shapes. Hide channel has some translated videos that you can probably find if you search around.

Lately, I think just doing figure drawing and basic croquis is more important than whatever detailed anatomy you get from Bridgman, etc. You don't have to do Bridgman, but you do need your anatomy at some point or another. And, if you want to keep improving at your dynamic posing, do more croquis, not necessarily Bridgman. Bridgman is just detailed anatomy. Basic shapes are what make your drawings beautiful, not the details.

Another thing that's really important for dynamic posing is learning walk and run cycles, and that's something I need to get around. Animation might be the best way to improve your drawing skills, desu
