Posing and portraits

[Fedx]

Hi! I would like some critics on this poses:

This is the caracter in a standing position:


Bending down to get something:


And stretching (This is the one that I don't really like):


And then this portraits, they should represent being Quiet, Uneasy, Scared, Panic! (Like the portrait of Jennifer Simpson in clock tower):



I would like some critics on how to make the stretching position better, and if the portraits show the emotion that's happening (Sorry for my english )

I like how economically you portray the different emotions in the portraits. Also, the shift of the eyeline in the face when he's stretching works well.

I would lift up and angle the pec lines for the stretch pose. When you raise your arms up like that, your pectorals go from sort of looking like squares (or, if you're getting older and fatter like me, rounded rectangles) to flattened triangles when you reach up like that, because of how the muscles are connected to the shoulders. Look at this:



I might also lift the shirt's hem line a little, and add some wrinkles from the point that the shirt gathers (would probably be like a half loop starting at each of the shoulders).

Wow! First of all thanks for the compliment on the portraits, I had to economize because I couldn't do much in a 40x40 px space and thanks for the picture, now I think that I should've looked for something like this before asking for help thanks again!
