Imagining that your drawing is filled in with black so you can only see the silhouette is a great way to ensure your drawing delivers a clear read. Thinking in terms of silhouettes will also help you to be aware of what’s most important to the pose. Perhaps extending limbs and forms away from the body will give a much clearer read rather then crowding them together? Is your character presenting something of interest? If so, should it be kept clear and accentuated in the silhouette?
