That's right. Everything is drawn poses from memory. No comic artist draws original poses. They sketch 1000's of poses until they learn every angle. That's right. I learned about 30 good poses per character. That's enough to do anything I want in a comic. Maybe not a cartoon, but comics only have very few original poses. Open any xmen comic. It's all been done. It's all recycled. So what? Not everyone can memorize the poses like I can. That's what makes a great artist. The attention to anatomy/scale/detail.
EDIT, for the record, I meant I have dozens of poses of various angles, all the same of *Wolverine's character* is what I meant.

Okay, I misunderstood what you were saying about the dozens of poses.
But I disagree with what you say about memorizing poses. Look at the last link I posted. There's a picture in there of Wolverine looking up at the sky. I drew that without having ever drawn wolverine or any other person/character in that pose before.
it's like this. FIrst you learn the basics. Profile, Front, back. Then the little adjustments. Looking up/down, left right. Forshortening, perspective. It's all in memory. Memory helps.
And the best artists have action figures when they sketch to help them. I read that. Everyone sketches the same way. If you don't use memory, then your Wolverine is just some male figure in Wolverines clothing. The anatomy isn't right. Sit down and learn Wolverines clothing, muscles, hair, etc, who knows it will rock. Take your time. Use pencils then ink it. I'd like to see it.
