Closer studies of hands, arms and legs. Use Focus to choose a body part.

5 Filters
Your study tab changes the available filters. Any includes every available choice in that group.
Reference type
In Body, choose Clothed or Nude references, or use Any for both. Nude references require sign-in.
Type
In Body, Anatomy and Portrait, choose Female or Male to narrow the model groups.
Pose
In Body, choose Standing, Seated or Reclined poses. This narrows both the galleries and references available.
Focus
In Anatomy, choose Hands, Arms or Legs for a closer body-part study.
Greyed-out choices
An unavailable choice has no matching references for the current selection. Try another gallery or broaden a filter.
6 Options
Single or Multi
Single selects one model gallery at a time. Multi lets you select several galleries and combine their references into one session. This choice is not used in Local or Favorites.
Default or Random
Default keeps the current image order. Random shuffles the references for your session.
Color or Black & white
Color shows the original image colors. Black & white removes color so you can focus on shapes and values.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the galleries or filters change when I switch tabs?
Body, Anatomy and Portrait use different reference types, so each tab has its own filters. A greyed-out choice has no matching references for your current selection. Try another gallery or choose Any to broaden the results.
Can I draw from more than one model?
Yes. Choose Multi in Options, then select the model galleries you want to combine. Single returns to one gallery at a time. This choice is not used in Local or Favorites.
How do I start a timed session?
Select your references, enter a pose count beside a preset or custom duration, then choose Start Pose Viewer. Each duration is how long one pose stays on screen. For help during playback, see the Photo Player Interface guide.
Are my Local images uploaded or saved?
No. Local uses files from your device in the current browser session. Refreshing or leaving the page clears them, so you will need to choose the files again.
How do I find a reference again?
Use the star on a reference to add it to Favorites, then open the Favorites tab to return to your starred poses. Use the star again to remove a reference from that selection.
