tilt and twist

A simple way to create a more dynamic pose is to practise the use of tilts and twists. To help avoid a static pose try using different angles. For instance, the angle of the character’s shoulders could contrast with the angle of their hips. Instead of drawing with angles that are parallel, contrasting angles give the drawing a feeling of flow and rhythm. Likewise, twisting and turning different portions of the body can help to strengthen the sense of movement.
