# 07 Pose Studies

Pose studies test intent in one frame. Animation polish comes later.

## Review Criteria

| Pose | Criteria |
| --- | --- |
| Idle | role, weight, breathing rhythm, hands readable |
| Walk | contact foot, passing pose, head stability |
| Run | forward intent, clear leg separation, readable arms |
| Jump | takeoff force, airborne line, landing preparation |
| Attack | anticipation, hit direction, active limb |
| Landing | weight, recovery, dust placement |

## Universal Pose Rules

- The pose must read in silhouette.
- The active limb must not merge with the torso.
- Feet must explain weight.
- Weapon or effect trails must support, not replace, body action.
