Storyboard poses…

I am officially struggling with my storyboards. I have this scene where Plant, the Lonely Monster, helps Lumi stand up. He reaches down a branch, pulls her up, and swings her around like a ballerina. The problem is, a swinging ballerina is frickin’ difficult to draw! At least for me, haha…

I’m using the references below, but it’s taking quite some time to understand how these poses work. Maybe I’ll try acting them out (though my body might break from that).
