Believe it or not this is actually something illustrators and animators do quite often to try and think about how a character would be posed or look, a good example being the animators of the original 'Toy Story' movie, who spent hours walking round their office with their boots nailed to a plank of wood to work out how the green army soldiers would walk.
Over the past year I've portrayed the roles of Robin Hood, the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, and the devil throwing some Molotov Cocktails to help friends with there illustration work to name a few roles.
Can't say I've had to portray a ballerina though......yet.

I'm surprised Octamum doesn't want him in the nurse outfit for nightmare night.

Maybe she thought the ballerina costume was cuter!

I'm surprised Octadad hasn't been reduced to a babbling wreck yet.

I've never seen a pony more perfectly posed in a pink tutu!

Earth ponies must have really good balance.

That actually makes a lot of sense, I saw the makings of the video game Star Wars: Republic Commandos and they were given a crash course on military training even setup a studio area for them to practice the movements of actual military movements for their squad they would be making for the game. It's interesting to see how far people would go just make things feel authentic as possible.

i m still not understand the cutiemark of octamom

It's a white pencil and paintbrush silhouetted on a purple circle.

To draw the art you must be the art! Or you must be Octamom who has her minions. That raises the question "Is Octamom despicable (me)?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, since all of her plans actually work as planned.

With the encouragement of a cold, hard stare from his wife, no doubt

Maybe Fluttershy taught Octamum the stare. She would be unstoppable.

Oh, I'm sure she already possesses the ability.

Couldn't she just ask Tavi to pose...?
Also from your description, does doing drawings of people 's poses in your lesson count? Done so anonymously, even tend to copy there haircuts.

Octavia's probably away at a concert, and no doubt Vinyl''s mysteriously disappeared.
Usually, when someone is asked to pose for some, they'll usually take a photo, then trace the outline of the body from the photo using a light box, then place all the appropriate clothing and props and character details on the figure to turn it into the character. In short, you'd never know any of the poses were performed by me unless I pointed them out.
It does indeed count as original art as long as the finished product bares no links to the original photograph bar the pose. It also applies to animation under the term of 'Rotoscope', which was used in animations such as The BFG and The Reign of Terror.

The Toy Story people actually did that? That's awesome! Can't say I've ever posed for something like that, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
They did indeed. It's just like how Nick Park, the creator of Wallace and Gromit, spent ages prancing wildly around Aardman studios with a stopwatch as he tried to work out the leg movements for the Techno Trousers during the animation of The Wrong Trousers.

Wow. That's actually really cool! If you are questioning how someone would do something if something weird happened to them, I guess the best way would be to imitate it yourself!

I loved the Wrong Trousers; such a great, humorous and well-done piece of stop-motion animation! Β I can see that you've done your animation homework!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I'm an animation student. It's mandatory.

Five minutes! I don't see how he could hold that pose for more than 30 seconds. Octadad has some serious strength! No wonder he beat the pro-racer bicyclists. Total respect.
