Learn About PoseSpace

Poses are photographed in rotation at high resolution.

The animated image shows how a pose can be zoomed-in and rotated for portrait and detail views. You can see any part of the figure close-up from multiple angles.

  • Practice painting portraits with a zoomed-in portrait view.
  • Practice gesture sketching with the full figure model pose.
  • Practice drawing hands, drawing feet, drawing ears, or any other challenging part of the body as you view different angles of the pose.

Policy for Use of the Photos.


Note: Art you create is your art to use or sell as you wish!

The photos may be used as a reference for creating traditional art which may then be sold. For example, a drawing, painting, or sculpture is permissible under these guidelines, whereas a work which uses the actual photos—such as a collage—would be prohibited. The photos may be used for games, videos, and digital art if first manipulated in a substantive way, for example, as the basis for a wireframe mesh, skin, or texture. However, they may not, in whole or in part, be resold, repackaged and sold, nor given away.
If you would like to use our photos as part of a product, class teaching art technique, or other offering, please Contact Us and provide as much detail about your project as you can. We license photos on a case-by-case basis.
