21 Draw - Drawing Character Poses with Personality

Requirements
Some previous art experience needed
Just a paper/sketchbook and a pencil! (The instructor uses Photoshop, but you can use any drawing tool/software you wish.)
Description
Are you fairly good at coming up with characters, but somehow feel that they are a bit stiff and unnatural, with stances that seem a bit 'awkward'? Or do you tend to draw standard poses for standing, sitting, walking, etc. and want to infuse them with life, to make them more interesting?
There are lots of tutorials these days on character design, but far less teaching how to create poses and gestures for those characters. A well-drawn pose plays a big role in effectively conveying a character's emotions and unique personality, be they a sinister villain, a courageous hero or an amusing side-kick.
In this course, Tony Bancroft, shows you how to do just THAT, drawing from his wealth of experience in the animation industry, having worked with studios like Disney and Warner Bros. He explains the key principles used in cartoons to make movements believable and entertaining and demonstrates the techniques for applying these concepts to your artwork.
At the end of this course, you'll think about illustration in a whole different way and have a new set of skills at your disposal to create characters that practically jump off the page!
