Maya Toolkit | Speed Posing [Part 10]

Reference Image

Notes for improvement:
> Remember to bend the neck control to allow the head to flow on from the body more naturally.
> Since the subject here is in mid-spin, the weight in this pose is a lot more subtle given the direction she's going vs. the weight needed to spin. Incidentally it might be worth emphasising these muscle movements and dropping elbows, to indicate where that weight is felt most strongly.
> Consider the angle of the camera in the source image; here we see the ice-skater from above, which in turn influences the proportions of the pose.
> Work on getting the 'balance' right, and that'll help determine where the weight should lie.
