Body Language

[RionaWolfheart]

Hello, I'm new here and joined to learn more about art and develop my skills. Well, in college we started a project on human portraits and appearances. Appearances would be more about the person's actual character, so I've been studying facial expressions. The problem is I can't seem to find any sketches of body language or poses :/
If anyone has any diagrams or sketches, tips, or any information about portraits, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks

I am sure that you probably tried a web search. I tried and have to say that most of the sites listed didn't sound like somewhere I'd care to visit. Anyway, if you haven't gone to wickipedia, ask.com, or answers.com. try those sites. I also found a site http.//www.deltabravo.net/custody/body.php . Warning though, that's the only page of that site I visited, so I don't know what else is there. Sadly, those sites only offer info. not pictures or drawings. Maybe try an image search. Sorry that this wasn't more helpful, good luck!:}
