Weight Is created through the use of perspective, proportion, volumes, structure, balance, etc, etc. Torque & Twist Pose your characters in interesting positions but not too weird. Make sure it’s expressive and has a strong silhouette. Foreshortening Use with caution and only when absolutely necessary. Anchor points Are a part of construction drawing. Be sure to maintain your anchor points on the character’s face to make them look solid. Angles & Tilts Use your perspective rules to maintain the proper look for the rotation of the various parts of the body. Follow the same principles as in Torque & Twist.
