Description
One of the most easily avoidable newbie mistakes is raising the character's arm without raising the shoulder. Naturally, this looks awkward as hell. Remember, the shoulder isn't fixed to the torso--the entire joint can move up, down, forward, and back. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't be able to reach behind us.Basic body structure (in purple, with shoulders highlighted in pink) comes from here

This is a helpful reference. Knew there was something with the shoulders but wasn't sure how it worked, so thanks for the tip!
