_Action_ アクション --- ![Pose Thumbnail 2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXujUqb64SsFkikazMtWWa7f4Md4gmPY2asaU85NbHBNT/Pose%20Thumbnail%202.png) --- ### Hey, what's up people And I'm back at again with another post. I think I'm doing pretty good posting more often if I say so my self. (￣▽￣)ゞ Also, I like to say that I recently got a new job, but it's no ordinary job, it's a graphic design one and I am very happy. (〇*>∀<)ゞ★☆ I still think that this is surreal that I got a job in my field and that working really hard to get to this point in my life payed off. ---

So, through out the time that I've been working at my graphic design job, I would try to draw action poses on my breaks and I learned a lot from drawing individual shapes for the body and different angles for the head. The whole reason for doing this is because not only that I want to get good at drawing poses from my mind, but also get better at 2D animation. https://media.giphy.com/media/I2ATEU25kyYco/giphy.gif [Source](https://giphy.com/gifs/cowboy-bebop-I2ATEU25kyYco) _This fight scene with Spike and Vincent in the movie was such a jaw dropping moment when I first seen it. The particles, the flow, and camera work comes all together so well. It was such a hype moment._

He also mention that I should look up famous animators such as, Nario Matsumoto, Noaki Kobayashi and Hiruyuki Yamashita. All of these animators have really inspired me to work on 2D animation.

At this point, I began to think of 3D shapes in my head and tried to visualize on how it was going to look like. Of course I could of done better, but I'm still a noob when it comes to thinking of poses on the spot. At one point, I even dreamed of sketching out different poses, that's how much I was doing this (lol). ╭( ･ㅂ･)و

I don't know where I got them from though. I'm going to continue to make more dynamic poses for my own growth as an artist because I really want to get good at 2D animation._ --- _The Breathing Effect - Layers of Thought_ _Here is some late night Jazz for your mind.
