Sometimes, when posing I use a 1:2:3 ratio; for example, such as twisting the neck. I might twist the chest by 5 degrees, the neck by 10 degrees, and the head by 15 degrees: everything thus graduated in a smooth fashion: -the torso moves a little, the head moves a lot.
And another thing!!! NEVER move the Forearms and Shins 'Side-to-Side! They can't DO it in real life, therefore they shouldn't DO it in Poser! Rather twist the Shoulders and Thighs instead. And remember, when twisting the hand, FIRST twist the forearm, and possibly even the shoulder (If the are is outstretched! -And again, in that case follow the ratio 1:2:3).
All this applies most certainly for posing the legs & feet TOO!
