show weight in your art

Think about the effect of gravity on your character. Are they positioned in a normal setting, or are they floating or falling? How does the drape of their clothing or hair change? If there’s a strong wind, the character’s hair and clothes will reflect that, and if the air is still, the drapery should hang down. A character with billowing clothes and hair often adds drama, so if the situation calls for it, bear in mind the direction of the movement.
