6. The wrist can be posed using the same bone posing method that we used on the elbow. This ensures
that the wrist maintains its volume while bending ( Figure 4-9 ) .
7. When working on the opposing arm, I decided to angle it down for contrast. Having both arms raised
would create an equilibrium that is not what I am trying to achieve in posing this figure ( Figure 4-10 ) .
8. In Figure 4-11 , we see the fingers being posed. I decided to place a small object, in this case a sphere,
into one of the hands. This allows the character to interact with an object and opens new posing possibil-
ities to those fingers. The fingers are posed using bone posing for the most part. Be sure to rotate often as
you move the fingers and use masks as you work.
9. Isolate the head from the body with a mask to rotate the neck ( Figure 4-12 ) . Draw a transpose line from
the head to the center of the shoulders. Click and drag in the center circle to rotate the head around its
Y axis. The process of posing the head requires a few variations of masking and Transpose. To see the
process in detail, refer to the video of posing this character on the DVD or download files.
