As I've mentioned many times, simple interaction among characters is often the hardest to reproduce because subtlety is paramount. This is where acting and role playing is most useful, since these actions are second nature to do, but not always to create. We are very adept at recognizing gestures, which is why drawings can so easily look awkward—not everyone can draw a figure, but almost everyone can "read" body language, however understated. The height at which we hold a cup, the angle of each finger as it grasps the handle, the tip of a sip—these and every other element add up to create a wholly believable character.
