Step 2:

Plan their pose. Use JustSketchMe to perfect the way your hero stands or presents themselves to their worlds. If you nail this, this pose could become one your hero’s trademarks, so choose wisely and have fun. If you’re hero’s power is telepathy or flight or pyrokinesis, try to incorporate this into their pose so that it is clear what kind of hero they are and what kind of situations they will be getting themselves into.

Step 3:

Use your superhero’s outfit to their advantage. When you think about Batman, chances are you can picture him gliding through a cityscape with his cape spread out menacingly. Wonder Woman uses her gauntlets in battle, so one of her most famous poses is her bracing for a fight with her gauntlets crossed in front of her. If your hero has a unique or distinctive element to their costume design, try to incorporate this in their pose and let it guide the way they present themselves.
