Cannot place the forearm on the correct low position while I'm playing with the armature I'm a blender newbie and I'm trying to animate my first character on blender. Actually I'm playing with the armature, but it seems to me that Blender uses a confusing procedure for this matter. Anyways ,as you can see from the attached pictures, I'm not able to move the right forearm to the correct low position. Can you explain to me why?

thanks.
Select your one of your arm-bones while in pose mode, and press R. You can then rotate that bone using the mouse. The bone rotates according to your screen, so go to front/back(numpad 1/ctrl + numpad 1) view to get straight rotation.

To go from the images you posted to what I posted, you need to rotate the upper arm and the lower arm =)
