I dont know if I understood the quedtion, but the pose is good, you just need to think about how you are going to use it. Since the game is a sidescroller (I guess) there will be rare cases that the character will be looking to the camera.
I know that feeling but while coding may look like something you have to spend a life long time to learn, its not true. I started using Unity not long ago and stopped the online course in 50% of it.
As you saw I cold make a game and submit it to a Jam, so I believe you are able to do the same. Just take your time to learn things before starting for real, thats what I would say. Also, if you think Unity is too hard there are visual script engines like Construct, ClickTeam Fusion, G-develop and others.
Thanks for all your compliments, the good side of using an engine that uses code is that you can use what you learn for other languages, also you have more freedom to make what you want. I like to learn unity in my free time so my progress takes to long to be noticed, I'm sure you will have great results sooner than you think.
