Happy to hear I've helped you out somewhat :) makes me all fluttery inside haha <3
Hmm, alrighty - so "static" figures ~ I feel you on that one! The best ways to overcome the stiff, static poses in your art is to do daily gestures. So, sites like:
> http://www.posemaniacs.com/ (click on the "30 second drawing" link on the right)
> http://www.quickposes.com/
I'm guilty of not keeping up with this daily practise and I can tell you it really does take a toll on your figure work. Then there are amazing reads like Michael Hampton's Design and Invention book:
http://www.amazon.com/Figure-Drawing-Inv...0615272819
Super helpful with anatomy, also webseries on anatomy like ProkoTV on YouTube.
But yes, anatomy studies, daily gesture warmups (and lots of practise of course) should help with a lot with loosening up and stuffs :)
Light, oh light ~
Well I can help you out a bit with that as well methinks:
