Batter Up!

Last week’s posing assignment was similar to the first one: creating poses with Stella that show movement.
I was casting around for some cool inspiration and I came up with….baseball!
I’m pretty happy with the poses and I’ll post up my sketches for these poses later. For now, here are the before poses and the critiques I received:
Pose 01: Plant the screen right foot and pay attention to the twist and arch in her back.
Pose 02: Lean her back more as she is in the sketch and really twist her upper body. My peers also gave me reference images to help with the angle of the bat. Thanks peers!
On a side note, my cool German friend Al liked my work and he mentioned me on his blog, so I’m gonna do the same and throw a shout out back at him! He has fantastic animations and his blog can be found here:
