Actually, I naturally pose a lot of my characters in a slight 3/4 pose. It give me a chance to "play" with the forms and to think in terms of strong silhouettes....as you know, straight on poses flatten the character out. The extended pinkie has become a bit of a trademark on my characters. It shows they have a bit of class - such as when a person holds tea cup with their pinkie extended..."don't you know". Thanks Chris... Hello.
