How to help with poses: Watch/read Jojo. It's almost physically impossible for characters to go 5 minutes without contorting glamorously or striking some kind of exotic yoga pose. Seriously.

Definitely recommend trying it out :D

I feel like the absolute most important thing here is "give your character something to do." I think a lot of times we get caught somewhere between "I'm showing off my character" and "I'm trying to do good art" and end up just drawing a person standing awkwardly in some sort of colored void. But the thing is, at no point in our lives are we just _standing there_ - we're always either doing something, waiting for something, or hanging out (actively trying to relax or connect with others, which is still doing something). Think through what your character is doing and thinking at this moment, how each part of their body feels, and how they see themselves in relation to their surroundings - and _draw that._

Quick tip: When you're drawing a character pose, decide what type of body language you want them to express. For example, are they confident? (wider stance), are they shy (narrower stance), are they annoyed or bored? (hands on hips or arms crossed), are they nonchalant? (leaning on something or hands in pockets), are they ready to fight? (battle-pose), are they stressed? (hands on their head or running through their hair), are they excited? (arms up in the air or arms opening up), are they intrigued? (head tilted to the right or eyes looking to the top right as if they're thinking). Body language is very important when it comes to expressing the personality of a person or giving life to a scene. Keep that in mind when you're drawing.

I know with me, one of the hardest things about poses is having the pose vibe with the character. Especially if its a low energy, or introverted character. Most of the ways a pose is made interesting is by giving it energy and making it dynamic, which typically doesnt work well for those types of characters.
