Description
Okaaaay guys ! It's finally here, my Body Language tutorial !Like its title says, it's focused on posing and bodies, so I didn't develop much on face and expressions.
If you want another face chart or something, just tell me, tho there are already lots of good ones around here !
Hope it'll be useful !
Edit : I'm glad so many of you people like it ! If you wanna practice a bit I did an expression intensity blank meme ! !
Edit2 : And here are some expressions refs I gathered for you !

The bit on body language will be very helpful, I have three or more characters i want to draw that spend a lot or all there time in masks, the mane things that's been stopping me from drawing them is how to show expressions when they don't have faces.

I have a question: what do i do if my character has no face? Am i supposed to do the same minus face part or i should do something in addition?

I believe it should stay the same, yes
You can express in his body if he's weak, strong, sly, confident, etc...You can also toy with his accessories (like a mask for hiding his lack of face, hats or stuff. And I guess when you have no face you try to be elegant with the rest of your clothes) but this has to come at the end of the process ^^

Thanks
As I answered to other people who told me this, you can keep a relatively neutral face for something minor, "but you'll still have a blushy-red face and still be a little tensed (like lip tight close or such), not, you know, the hollywood perfectly make-up face like Arwen for example ^^"

oh oops I guess your right >.< I guess I have to go to another dimension to see a super straight face crying.

This is very clear in how to make an emotion more clearer with the body instead of emotion. I am always frustrated with bodies, but the whole power line made it much easier. Thanks!

I can cry with a straight face. I found out I could do it when my dad made me cry for the first time. Lets just say its weird to look at when it happens naturally outside of a movie.

I love this. Thank you so much for making this, it's really going to help a lot. Body language is so important to study, but sometimes it's one of the hardest things to study as well because it can be so subtle. Thank you. ^^

Thank you very much for this great tutorial,

Thanks ^^
As I said to other, you still have blood rushing your face making you red and muscles contracting (for frowning etc...), so even if you don't look devastated; you'll never be as perfectly clean like in movies (like Arwen for example).
