Helpful, Useful, and Easy to Use
Anime Reference Poses is a huge variety of high quality anime poses reference images (find exactly the pose you need with Anime Reference Poses)!
When it comes to drawing anime, the anime pose is one of the most important things to get right. It’s your foundation. But often when we find ourselves in the mood to draw, we just can’t find the right pose. It can be tough to know where to start. If you’re learning it can be even worse, because you might also be struggling with trying to draw limbs and proportions correctly.
That’s why I’ve put together this handy collection of anime poses that you can use as reference when you’re drawing your favorite characters. Whether you’re a seasoned anime artist or just starting out, I hope you find this site helpful!
One of the wonderful things about anime and art is there’s no wrong way to learn or express yourself. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new approaches with these poses to see what’s most effective for you. If one of these poses isn’t quite right, maybe try mixing and matching limbs from different poses. Remember these are just drawing references. There are no rules!
Exactly the Pose You’re Looking For
The general tips for drawing anime poses are:
– start with a basic skeleton to get the proportions right
– add in the details like facial expressions and clothing later
– use reference images to help you get the pose just right
The whole point of this site is to do the proportions and pose for you, so you have easy to copy/reference frameworks for poses so you can get on with adding all the fun pieces. Find a pose, copy or save it, then paste or drop it into your favorite program, and get to drawing.
This is an educational tool so there’s no need to give credit. But if you like the site and the poses, why keep it to yourself? Maybe someone else could use a little help with figuring out their poses. Spread the word.
Regardless for why you are here, Anime Reference Poses is here to serve. Should you be relatively new to drawing anime and need some help with making sure things are in the right place, we’ll make sure those limbs are the right length. Or perhaps you are a seasoned veteran, but you can’t decide which pose to use or you are just lazy. That’s cool too. There’s nothing wrong with being indecisive or lazy. The site is here to serve.
Now pick a category and get drawing!
