This document discusses techniques for developing character poses for storytelling, including conveying the desired action, emotion, and motivation through the pose. It notes that good posing takes the character's body type into account, feels natural, and clearly communicates what is happening with just a glance. The document also lists elements to consider when posing a character, such as action and energy, line of action, power center, gravity and balance, emotion and motivation, silhouette, tilts and rhythm, and avoiding tangents. Students are assigned tasks to draw character poses and develop a color and tone palette for a character.
