This post is basically about my use of references for poses. For me I can't stress enough how important having references is when it comes to drawing. I have to say that it has drastically improved how I draw dynamic poses. I mentioned in a comment that I really like to use dancer poses for my drawing and it really is due to the fact that most dancers tend to wear tight clothing making it easier to see how the lines of the body should flow. It make it really easy to figure out proportions as I can do a comparison of how long a leg is compared to an arm or yes a person's body really CAN bend that way! The image I'm posting is the references and then the picture I did from them.
