animation mentor:111 balance

we had to do a pose with stu showing balance.

here are my sketches.

and here is the final.

i chose to go with stu throwing a muay thai roundhouse kick to the head. a proper muay thai kick doesn’t arc up at the moment of impact, because you can damage your foot or shin on the target’s elbow. instead, you throw your leg up, and the shin makes impact on the way down, cutting into the target.
