  1. I like your poses, they convey the anger really well. Only thing I would suggest is that you push the head forward so its more in your face. Nice Work... I like your glider too, how do you do that? You should post a video tute to teach us all how.

  2. The top pose is an excellent anticipation pose. There are some nice lines of action running through it.

    Something to try to convey anger is sharper angles in the silhouettes of the limbs. Sharp angles, hard accents, can make a strong pose aggressive. It may be worth a try and a comparison.

    I like that you have provided the reference picture with the poses. I like that the second pose displays the energy of the acting. It is a difficult task to get a pose balanced on one leg. There can be a tendency to sacrifice side-to-side line of action tweeks for straight lines.

    The second pose could be improved by adding more energy, over and above the energy displayed in the reference picture. Energy in a pose can be built through adding subtle tilts and opposing actions (shoulders tilted opposite to hips, for example) and then add a bit of twist on the body controllers to add 'torque' (like a wound up spring)to the pose.

    Look to balance the pose by getting the centre of gravity (CoG) in the core control over the grounded foot and then evenly distribute the body parts on either side of an imaginary vertical line that runs up through the foot and CoG.

    Good work Scheree.
