      Do any of you have recommendations for models to pose and use for drawing gesture? I recall having one in my YouTube feed but it hasn't reappeared.

      I can tell my husband is going to get really tired of me asking him to pose a particular gesture. And I'd prefer not to get lost in the rabbit hole of searching the internets for reference images.

      I tried a model set-it was very small, difficult to assemble (it came with switch out hands, etc.).

      For context, I'm just starting to draw comics. My characters are not superheroes, so poses with swords, etc. are required.

          Proko also offers a free pack for signing up to his newsletter at the bottom of the main page. He's not spammy at all. Just sends occasional updates with new content.
          This one from Reddit that doesn't really have a name

          There are also a few poseable 3d model programs on the web, but I've never used one personally.

            https://www.quickposes.com/en/gestures/timed seems like a good choice as you have options for what kind of model you want, how many images, and time allowed.

              Thank you all-and through you I've found some new online photographic sites.

              Alas-my question wasn't clear--I'm looking for any recommendations for a mannequin-a posable thing in 3D that I can adjust, and handle, and turn around, etc.

              Anyone know of anything like that-that is good? 8-10" tall or so?
