dynamic poses tutorial

i regret not including many other figures in pose-drawing examples besides dupe, but i would rather call it done than have it lay around almost finished for another three months!

one down, about four to go. the self-critique and character design tutorials i am totally unsatisfied with, and am starting the process of rewriting and redrawing those two.

while this advice may seem a bit "off" or unexpected for people who have watched streams where i barely sketch as i'm drawing, i am still strongly of the opinion that quality is more important than quantity. by extension, i think that it's more useful to spend more time on one great piece over several "okay" pieces, generally.
i recommend that anyone draw every day because you will improve over time drawing many things, but when i first started seriously practicing, i would draw the same subject matter over and over until i understood how to draw it without relying on under-sketches or references every time for satisfactory results.
if i had drawn a complete illustration every day instead of knowing that it was okay to repeat subject matter, well... i wouldn't know how to fucking draw anything. my sense of composition would probably be better, admittedly, but my "everything else" would have suffered.
