Figure Painting Tips -- Avoiding Figures that are Too Upright

A tip to add to your figure painting knowledge.

By , About.com Guide

If you find your figures are ending up too upright, try exaggerating the pose when you start to help counter a tendency to straighten up the figures as you paint them. And a few times while you're painting, check the pose by holding the brush (or a pencil) against the figure across the shoulders, then the hips, and then the spine.
