Description
Okaaaay guys ! It's finally here, my Body Language tutorial !Like its title says, it's focused on posing and bodies, so I didn't develop much on face and expressions.
If you want another face chart or something, just tell me, tho there are already lots of good ones around here !
Hope it'll be useful !
Edit : I'm glad so many of you people like it ! If you wanna practice a bit I did an expression intensity blank meme ! !
Edit2 : And here are some expressions refs I gathered for you !

Thanks so much for doing this!
Most of the time I only draw the face because I don't have any idea of how to make the body match the expression, so this tutorial will definitely come in handy

And here's one who thought she was doing some things right and as suddenly somebody teachs me there's always something new to learn.
Favouriting of course.

Aha, thank god we never stop to learn, life would be boring otherwise !
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Indeed. And art would be so dull. Thanks also for sharing your experience

Thank you very much for this! All of the advices are really helpful!
The most interesting (and the hardest for me to get them right) were the balance and power lines for me. I do have an anathomy book with beautiful drawn pictures in it, but it's really hard to get the "bones" of the figures right.
You might would be a good teacher.

Aha sadly I'm not a great expert in anatomy, well, if I ever did a tutorial on this, it would be on the very first basics, for absolute beginners only ^^

8D...... I actually learned a few things... socialolgy wise and physiology wise... I realized.. that I'm doing some of these things right now.. XD; oh man... good thing no one can out right point out MY body language..
D: suddenly.. art makes much more sense!

Hehe, yeah, sociology and psychology are very important in acting ^^ I learnt much more about myself after studying animation ^^ (like, only crossing the arms...If you see someone crossing their arms during a conversation, chances are you said something that they didn't like, even if they're still smiling

D: MAN! I wish I had those lessons.. it would be much easier to go through life! nice job 8D

Patrick gagne un point de cerveau! C'est fou comme les expressions manga ont pus me faire régresser o__o
Merci pour les petits trucs!

Le manga a cet avantage qu'il fait progresser assez vite, il a malheureusement ce gros inconvénient d'emprisonner le style, on arrive très vite à ses limites et c'est dur de s'en défaire.
Je suis constamment en train d'essayer de ne pas retomber dans son piège, j'en ai encore les séquelles ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heheh ouais, moi aussi. Le pire, c'est de tomber dans le piège des personnages botoxés, mais ça c'est surtout mon problème... C'est rare pour moi de vouloir aller jusqu'à exagérer les expressions de mes personnages.
D'ailleurs je dois reprendre mes entraînements au dessin, j'ai l'impression de faire un retour en arrière, et c'est pas bon .__.

Without access to classes or instruction, and kind of stumbling through things on my own, I really thrive off of tutorials like these. Now I just need to practice practice practice...
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.

You're welcome, but always be careful with tutorials like this, they're not always correct.
Recently again, there was in a Daily Deviation the wrongest tutorial I've ever seen.

Don't remember the guy or the deviation, but here are the corrections I made at the time to show how wrong it was : [link]
