Realistic, Anime, or Blocky: Choosing the Perfect 3D Model for Your Art in PoseMyArt
Listen, as someone who’s been drawing and bringing characters to life for over two decades, I know how much finding the perfect pose and reference can severely slow down production, especially with tight commission deadlines. That’s why PoseMyArt is fantastic: it offers the best 3D model variety for artists right when you need it. Seriously, getting a handle on the PoseMyArt different model types will totally speed up your process.
Solving Common Artist Problems
Since I’ve been taking paid art commissions for over seven years, I’ve definitely seen how many artists struggle with creative block or finding reliable reference material. PoseMyArt offers all kinds of 3D models to choose from to create your own figure references, empowering you to stop searching and start creating.
Finding the Perfect Reference
For example, finding the perfect reference photo for a specific and complex pose can be nearly impossible. Many artists have turned to using AI references, but that can be unreliable as well, especially when it comes to the correctness of anatomy or the balance of poses. Some may notice too late, in other words, when they’ve already spent significant time on a piece, that a pose seems off.
I’ve seen a few AI art pieces like this, and by sketching a basic wireframe base on it, it’s visible that maybe arm positions don’t make sense or that shoulders and hips don’t match for the proper distribution of weight for a pose.
With the PoseMyArt models, you can adjust every joint and limb to create the exact pose you need, with the assurance that you can check that the pose makes sense anatomically before you put the work in. This saves a massive amount of time and removes a major headache from your workflow.
Struggling with Creative Block
If you struggle with creative block, browsing through the PoseMyArt App’s pre-made pose library or scenes can spark a new idea or help you get started on a project. For commissions, using PoseMyArt ensures you have reliable 3D model references that you can return to again and again, guaranteeing consistency in your work.
On the PoseMyArt app, you can tweak your model types with the Change Model tool, or add an entirely different model type with the Add Models tool.
Realistic Models
If you’re working on a project that demands a human figure with precise anatomical details, you know how incredibly difficult it is to find a real-life photographic reference for the exact pose and lighting you have in mind. PoseMyArt’s realistic poseable 3D models are the perfect choice to solve this problem for you. They provide a precise, posable figure that completely eliminates the need to spend hours searching for the right picture.
In my experience, when you’re more used to drawing a certain style of character, specifically those that have somewhat skewed proportions (eg. anime, chibi, stylized cartoons, etc.), it can be hard to change gears to more realistic proportions.
PoseMyArtprovides an array of realistic models with different artist posing app body types, including stocky, muscular, and skinny, along with models for both teens and adults. So the app can definitely be a good guide or template for realistic proportions while you’re adjusting.
Having this variety at your fingertips can also help you capture the subtle curves of a limb or the precise musculature needed for a lifelike drawing.
Anime Models
If your style is all about those anime and manga character proportions, PoseMyArt’s anime models are just what you need. Looking for a specific 3D figure reference anime model? The PoseMyArt App has both male and female models of different ages, from children to teens to regular adults.
Anime models are the in-between when it comes to realistic and very stylized or exaggerated character proportions. Some animes have also become quite iconic with their own exaggerated proportions like xxxHolic, One Piece, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure- stretching out characters, or maybe exaggerating musculature. So while there is no rigid standard for anime proportions, PoseMyArt gives you a good base to start with.
Chibi Models
You can use the Chibi-style models for creating cute, stylized art. They’re perfect for artists who want to practice simplifying a character’s design and exaggerating features like a much larger head and smaller body. Using PoseMyArt’s 3D chibi character models allow you to quickly establish charming poses that are instantly recognizable.
When it comes to Chibi models, the one challenge can be visualizing how a pose might look, especially with a much bigger head, smaller body, and short limbs. Here’s a trick you can try on PoseMyArt- use an Anime or Realistic model to apply your preferred pose to first, before switching the model to chibi.
With the huge difference in proportions, this may not be a perfect method, but it’s always a good start. Let’s take a look at this Anime Female Model in a cross-legged pose with one hand on her head. When this pose is translated into a Chibi model, the hand sinks into the model’s head. This can be a normal occurrence, but with a few tweaks, you can get your model into the pose you want.
Also, with heavily stylized Chibi models, remember that artists have more artistic liberty when it comes to stretching or distorting anatomy to create a pose. Still, even with a bit of distortion, make sure that it still makes sense.
Simplified Models for Composition and Sketching
Sometimes, you just need a quick reference to block out a scene without getting bogged down by details. The PoseMyArt App’s blocky 3D models for drawing composition and bot models are invaluable for this purpose. They offer a simple, clean way to arrange figures and establish a scene’s perspective and weight before you start the detailed work.
Beyond simple placement, these simplified models are also excellent for helping you understand the fundamental structure and gesture of a pose. When I drew my characters, focusing on these basic volumes and lines ensures my final piece has a strong sense of form and balance before I add in intricate details.
PoseMyArt has a variety of stick figures and frames. Or if you prefer, you there is also a selection of more fleshed out, but still basic, models.
Animal and Specialty Models for Unique Projects
For those projects that require something out of the ordinary, the PoseMyArt App has you covered. Its animal models, including the 3D animal anatomy model horse and a wolf, are fantastic for dynamic animal poses. There are even male and female mermaid models for you to try out.
You can also explore anatomical references with PoseMyArt’s 3D skeleton reference model or add a touch of fantasy with its werewolf and zombie or alien models, making it a great 3D model poser for fantasy art.
