These practical exercises focus on character acting through drawing. They develop poses that can immediately communicate an emotion, intention or situation. Gestures, attitudes and body language are explored through a wide range of scenarios. Facial expressions are combined with poses to make the performance clearer and more natural. The exercises can cover calm, joyful, comedic, dramatic or highly dynamic situations. The goal is to give the character a strong sense of presence and communicate an action or emotion through posture alone.
