For those of you who are bad at putting character into motion.
This is called the "Mannequin Arm Method."
The red lines indicate they are all connected, meaning if you move one part of the body the other parts of the body is pulled or affected as well. vice versa
#1 The "X Muscle method."
The X muscle drawing method can be useful to draw the bumps and lumps of the muscles. Also making them come into motion.
These methods are also useful when you are trying to depict a person or human body. Just by imaging the whole movement and flow of the body all connected, it will make it easier to depict a human body.
The X muscle method is a way to understand it easier.

Thank you very much! This is very helpful. If you want any drawing I'll make it for you.
There are soooooo many more pictures like this if you feel like helping. Can I send you a PM or something? I don't want to trouble you, but this would be highly appreciated.
