You may not have considered the complexity of drawing someone in a seated position versus a standing one before, but after trying it for yourself, you’ll soon realize that it’s much more challenging than it seems. Not only are there new angles to consider, but a profound understanding of proportions and depth is also needed to capture the details, personality, and realism of your model. 

What your creations are capable of is only as broad as your skillset, and that’s why it’s important to understand the principles of any situation they might get themselves into—even if they’re just sitting still. To help you foster this skill set, we’ll be sharing five essential resting and “sitting-in-chair” pose reference tools for any flourishing artist starting out on their journey of creative development.

Sitting Pose Reference Pictures

This collection features over 720 high-resolution images of seated male and female models. The addition of prop weapons offers an opportunity for artists to study both balance and weight distribution, as heavy objects often create tilts, cause gravitational shifts, and introduce a variety of potential variations in their posture. An interesting light display has also been curated for the shoot to exhibit a range of moods and conditions for you to experiment with. There’s no such thing as generic “sitting-in-chair” pose reference pics in this set!

With this purchase, you’ll receive:

• 720+ male and female sitting reference photographs
