Searching for a completely new reference every day can become part of the work you never get past. A small group of familiar poses gives you somewhere to begin.
Try keeping three references for one drawing problem. You can return to the same images, notice what remains difficult, and change the group when its purpose changes. There is no need to build a large collection before you start drawing.
Choose a question before choosing images
Decide what you want to observe in your next few sessions. Examples include where a seated figure is supported, how a hand overlaps an arm, or how clothing hangs from a contact point.
Then browse the pose library. Select three images that give you a useful comparison. They do not need identical poses or camera angles.
For perspective work, the foreshortening collection can help narrow the search. For a comparison of compact and extended shapes, try the jumping collection. These contain separate fixed AI-generated images, not matched photographs of one action.
Save enough to begin
Use Save pose on the references you want to revisit, then open Saved poses. You can choose a few references to practice or use your saved list.
Keep the first group small. Three purposeful choices are enough for this exercise. If you find yourself scrolling without deciding, return to your question: what will this image help you compare?
Saving a pose adds a bookmark to your reference list. It does not save a drawing you made from it, the time you spent studying it, or a completed lesson.
Use one simple return visit
On your next visit, choose one saved reference. Spend 30 seconds placing its overall shape, then make a separate two-minute attempt focused on your chosen relationship.
This is a sequence you start manually. On a single-pose page, the image remains visible when the timer ends, giving you time to review. You can restart the timer when ready, or use Untimed throughout.
Compare your two sketches. Did the added structure clarify the same action? Is one contact or overlap still uncertain? Put one observation in your own notebook or drawing app.
Return to that reference another day if the question is still useful. Repeating an image gives you another opportunity to observe; it does not guarantee a better drawing each time.
Know where your saved list lives
Without an account, saved poses belong to the browser where you saved them. Clearing that browser’s stored data can remove the list. It does not automatically appear in a different browser or on another device.
An optional drawing account lets you use cloud-saved references across devices when you log in. You can continue browsing and practicing without creating an account.
Moving existing browser saves into your account requires an explicit import confirmation. Import adds them to the account and leaves the browser list in place. Signing in alone should not be treated as an automatic upload of every browser save.
Cloud changes require a connection and are not queued for later offline synchronization. See Privacy and data use for the details of saved data, account deletion and retention.
Replace one image when your question changes
After a few visits, review the purpose of the group. Keep a reference that still reveals something useful. Replace one that no longer fits your study question.
You might move from identifying a seated support to comparing an arm’s position against the torso. Change one reference rather than rebuilding the whole list.
Finally, remember what the images can and cannot tell you. AI-generated references may contain anatomical or contact errors. If a connection remains implausible, compare another source instead of treating repeated copying as proof that it is correct.
The useful habit is returning with a question you can investigate. Your saved list supplies the references; your sketches and notes record what you notice.
