thank you, i'm so glad this silly tutorial was helpful. :^D !! if you want to know more about how Line Of Action is applied (i made this tutorial when i was still an inexperienced teen and didnt explain it at all other than the name), i initially learnt of the concept from this part of a tutorial by one of spongebob's storyboard artists :> !!

from there, i did independent research and just played with it. pinterest helped a bunch with stuff like this

LOA helps guide the eye through a pose (and the piece in general) and can generally be useful for emphasizing shapes and form. it can also (like the spongebob example) be used to guide characters in terms of framing and movement. :^D
i can honestly say that after 5 years of trying to apply the concept properly after learning of it, i'm still trying to get the hang of it. now that you know of it, i hope you're able to eventually get the hang of it too!! ^_>^
