Cobbled together quick action poses of Wolverine this cold morning (17°F yikes!). If you track it from the top center and go counter-clockwise, you might be able to clock how I went from working out the kinks with stiff poses trying to be dynamic to better poses with clearer action lines and the use of reference. I just googled “dynamic boxing photography” and “knife fighting photography” and used some as basic references. If I were trying to find a ref for Spidey, I’d look up parkour or gymnastics.

Maybe I’ll explore one of these in detail.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Warmups are essential but don’t actually warm you up (again 17°F)

• Add “-ai” to the end of your Google searches so your references don’t include GenAI slop.
