How do you make poses that are cool and not stiff and awkward?

ethan becker strongly recommends studying from video frames and not from photo

people in photos are always posing and stiff, people in videos are moving

Yeah, it can be a little hard. Keep practicing gesture and learning anatomy and it'll slowly get better. I found that a lot of times my poses would get stiff because I erased what I didn't know how to draw until it looked totally dead and stiff

Practice gesture drawing like hell, Hampton got me hang of it (you may prefer another instructor) and apply it to life drawing (or videos due to coronachan).

Also copy cool poses from those Japanese pose books with the stunt actors or just straight up reference movies as says >>4490507

Do a thousand gestures and then a thousand figure drawings. After that another thousand for anatomy

>> No.4490567

Just keep drawing and trying new things :D
One day you will make a drawing that's cool and flexible, and then you will start to understand how to do it :D

Try basing your line of action on a curve, i.e. where the balance line for your pose is.
Like in this picture you drew, >>4490511 the line of action is straight which makes the pose look stiff
Try thinking like the drawing shown here.

By not drawing poses, but instead drawing cool people. Fucking tired of all these exaggerated superhero/bitch poses.
Study people old masters. They usually knew how to make really cool poses.

My secret is that I can't draw a straight line or a perfect circle
