So did some more speed posing today! Overall this pose for once, I actually think its okay! There are a few flaws, but I came quite close to getting to pose down pretty decently. Reference The main problems with this pose are mainly his neck, as it curves ever so slightly, so the top area of the chest could probably could do with more twist, the rear foot should have been pushed back way further and pointed much sharper towards the floor, his hands needed to be scrunched way more and his left hand needs to be facing the camera a lot more, and finally, his front foot has been pushed a little too far away from his body. Focusing more on accuracy of the pose, rather than the character and the face. Pose

Reference  Pose I'm not very happy with how this came out, I tried to bend for the pelvis but I ended up breaking his hips. The arms are not extended enough, the head is at a poor rotation and the kicking foot is not even close to the original image. It's similar to my pose, but definitely not my best work. Need to do better next time.

Overall, pretty happy with how this came out! Posing is okay, stature is okay, my only gripe are the hands and the bending in the spine and neck, they are not enough. But overall, not too bad.

  This was the pose I was working from. There are some main problems in the chest and neck. The pose originates from mainly the chest, so I neglected to turn the chest in this exercise, so that's a fault on my end. So I need to work on how I pose my spines so that's a goal I need to work on.

So this was the image I was working from. Overall this was okay, I'm not too happy with how long the body is and his hands (As they are in okay positions, but their shapes are incorrect.) , but I think I've gotten the main pose down. Facial pose was okay, but because of the picture quality there's only so much I could do posing-wise. Then the pelvis was a little out of whack, just because I bent the top half of the body rather than the pelvis. Overall this pose was okay, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Did this in about 5 minutes, thin the spine seems okay, but it needs work on the angle of which the upper part of his torso turns. I've also worked out the facial controls fully now and I got a rough, rough, rough face going, but couldn't finish. Hands definitely still need work but I'd say I got the main idea of the pose down. Might do a study into animation poses at some point, but I'm not sure yet, this would be a great way for me to hone my skills.

Overall I know this rig a little better now, e.g. keeping the controls on in renders casts shadows and how to get the facial rig working. I'd still really like to get a lot better at this though and I could definitely see myself doing this again in my spare time.
