how do you find a good reference to a pose you have in your imagination?
-
great resources! thank you very much, although i haven't found what i need still in there, i am sure to use this in the future.
-
@arielg best to set up your own poses. Just like this one I did to get the right angle for a Unicorn painting I was doing.
-
I want to order myself a full body mirror for poses. But also cause i look amazing

@Coreyartus That earthsworld.com is gold!!

@davidhohn Holy crap, that site is amazing!

If all else fails look in the mirror... or take a photo of yourself. I’ve had to do this many times and it works. Even if it’s for a person that looks nothing like me in size or shape. You just need a general idea of how the bones bend and you’re good to go. There are a couple of great courses in svs that deal with poses. Highly recommend.

@davidhohn @TessaW That Earthsworld resource actually comes from Brooklyn Walker's Introduction to Gesture Drawing course here on SVSLearn. It's hidden at the very very very bottom of the Additional Resources tab. I agree it's golden. There isn't a single person on there that isn't a walking character!

I was conversing with Earthsworld and told him he was gathering a following of art students here. This was his response:

One other thing that might be helpful are these types of figures.
Using a desklamp on a hinge and getting some lighting information when you snap a picture has been pretty useful.

I don't think this has been said and I haven't checked out the suggested sites, which may be a better solution, but if you search in Google for Poses, instead of trying to look for a unique pose, you may find what you're looking for. That's helped me in the past. Also, it helps to learn if you find a close pose and modify it a little.
