(I don't have my drawing mouse rn, so it still looks a bit wonky--) I drew a pose just based on memory of what I generally want to convey. And after making that, using references, or just fixing what you don't think looks right, you can change how it looks with some proper editing. I say go for a pose you want, then try to fix it afterwards, start with simple lines and shapes. The Blue line you can see can be you base for a base, just the VERY basic way of trying to figure out how you want a pose to look. If you want to practice, try drawing out pose references you see online, and breaking them down to shapes and lines. That's a bit of what I can provide
