Hello! Awesome job on Ace! I like bold linework and how you represented his personality. He is excellent pick for showing movement due to powers he is wielding (fire). I am mentioning this because you can use it as one of the option to show dynamic picture. In order to achieve that, you have to expand camera view. Ideally you want to incorporate hands within frame. Simple posing can be enough to show dynamic picture when its combine with something like the magic. Beside the magic, showing hair flow with the wind force gives you instant dynamism. Just make sure that elements follow correct logic of a power force. Here i gave special effect on whole arm and created hair to be parallel with power as one of the examples on how to represent movement. This approach is good start when you are learning complex posing. You are focusing only on part of the body without worry about the rest. That is why it is important to zoom out to see bigger picture before cropping camera view. That way it is easier to execute idea you have in mind. You will be able to take more risks and overall experiment bit more, for example: trying out foreshortening view with hands or torso. Lastly: don't forget using references for dynamic posing. They are quite fun to practice :D Hope it helps and have fun experimenting!

Late post, fell asleep after got back from vacation. I drew these three from references to sharpen my visual library. Probably as much as i needed before hopping into drawing from imagination. To me, there's a lot room for improvements, because these drawing still not great. If you have any advices, truly i'd be grateful to hear it. Ignore the top left, its from yesterday :)
