Can Use Different Faces, bodies And Emotions.
I really like this app, though I’d really like to see more options for the face and body, I could use different body types in my drawings.

Crucial necessary update!!
The 1-5 huttons need to be moved up as they’re inaccessible with new IOS’s home bar at the bottom blocking them
2019-06-06
Love it but....
This is a very good app. This gives me nearly all the poses and anatomical references that I need. The only downside is that it takes a little getting used to. I was very confused when I first started using it and I am still have some issues. Overall though this is Avery good buy.
2019-02-03
WOOOOW!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
THANK YOU to the creators for making this app! Just WOW! Anatomy and foreshortening are two of the hardest subjects to master, and this app addresses both masterfully! Being able to pose however you want and add realistic lighting makes drawing accurately sooo much easier. Looove it so much, bought the bundle. It's a must for visual artists! Thank you!🙏🏽
2018-12-02
Thank you so much for taking away the background
Update: man thanks so much for removing the background for the models, this really helps out so much!!
Such an awesome app in both versions. I use this a lot and would like to see other things added like the ability to have the option to bring in another pose model or two so you can have a duo set atleast like for posing a fight scene ect. And perhaps even
props/accessories to use like sword, pistol, chair, stump ect. and a creature model version of this would be awesome as well.
Hope to see much more!!
2018-09-13
I love this app a lot!
I love this app a lot can’t ask for much more. You get everything you need to create awesome poses in which you can screen shot and use for references while drawing rather digitally or non-digitally. The only thing I would be awesome for this app is to adjust body weight not just by muscle mass, but also by body fat. One other thing would be to add in some props like: weapons, furniture, cell phones, computers, and drinking mugs. However the app is fine without these but the other pose apps are pushing these extra options.
2018-07-15
Not as good as I thought
Doesn’t work well with the IPad Pro. Posing is awkward and the models’ limbs don’t move in an intuitive direction while adjusting. It works ok for very simple poses or if you use one of the pose options already available without too much adjusting. But it does not have the full range of human motion for accurate anatomy. It will also cause the muscles to bulge unrealistically if edited too much. Also noticed that the orbs for adjusting the limbs would move the wrong joint. The lighting option is ok. It doesn’t cover the full range of hard, soft and ambient lighting. Kind of wish I could get my money back, or have it credited back to my credit card.
2018-05-31
Please add 3-point lighting!!!
Good little app for the price. 3-point lighting options and a wider variety of body types and hair would make it five stars.
2018-05-03
Buyer beware: You cannot split-screen any version of this app
I bought this with the impression that I would be able to split screen this on iPad Pro and use it with art apps, as quoted by the ImageFX Magazine review mentioned in the app’s description. That is not possible. I bought the whole bundle(Pro, Male and Female), but it’s useless when drawing on my tablet, but I guess its not a total loss, as i can still use it while drawing on paper.
2018-03-07
Brilliant beginning
A very useful tool. It takes a bit of time to figure out how to accurately maneuver the poses. I’m a Sculptor and I simply love that I can twirl around the figure to any angle, even if the graphics are a little oversimplified.
My main request would be to have a skeleton layer option under the poses!
2018-01-29
Great App
Great app, lots of features to play with. I bought the bundle an I wonder what is the difference between ArtPose and Art pose Pro? They are the exact same thing.
2018-01-27
Good but LIMITED
This app can be very helpful however there are several things that drag it down. The amount of options for lighting and pose are near limitless and completely open for you to manipulate. The preloaded poses are varied and dynamic enough that I find very little need to ever pose one of the 3D models manually. I can usually find a preloaded pose easily enough and move it around a little bit to get what pose I’m looking for. In those respects the app is great however its limitations rear their head soon enough. You are very limited when it comes to body shapes, a problem that is very noticeable with the women models which don’t really mimic any body shape except the classic “superhero” shape. You cannot alter the face/expression and there are only a few options for hair (all of which are nothing near realistic). So any drawings you do from this app quickly begin to all look the same, same body shape, same proportions, same face, same hair. For the price the app is good enough, just wish you could alter actual appearance of the 3D model more. It’s fine if you’re gonna crank out canned drawings of superheroes but if you want to explore drawing actual figures you’re gonna be left wanting. Oh also for the male version of the app always turns my music waaaay down when I open it and won’t let me turn it back up, super weird cuz the woman version doesn’t, I dunno.
2017-11-24
What I’ve always hoped for
I’m a graphic novel illustrator. This app saves immeasurable amounts of time from my workload and I use it every day. Any angle I want to experiment with is possible and once I set up a pose I’m able to reconsider the shot and find the best possible setup.
Suggestion: If you held your finger over a pose you could have a pop up with some alternate poses to choose from. Ie: different frames of a run cycle. This could reduce some of the clutter in the pose menu. Another thought might be to save default shading setups. This might be possible and I missed it though.
2017-10-23
Brilliant!
I love the different ways this app works & how well it captured the human body. Not to mention it's much easier to pose & work with than other anatomy apps like it. For an update, I'd like to see more heavier body types added in at some point. Heavier meaning pot-bellied, fat, or stocky. The male body is more than just skinny & bodybuilder, let's see how heftier bodies sculpt onto them. I’d also LOVE and option to put multiple characters in one image.
This would help out a lot for drawing & studying different body sizes.
2017-10-07
Great potential
I have only played with this app for a short time, and I think it has great potential for the figure artist, but I can already see an area that I would like to see modified: while it is very easy to pose the various body elements, it is imperative to see the figure from different points of view to make sure the pose is working as the parts are positioned. As currently implemented, the pose widget is positioned on the right side of the screen, while the camera widget is on the left side of the screen, making it necessary to continually interrupt the posing process to activate the camera, then activate the pose tool again and so on. This slows the posing down. I believe it would speed things up considerably if the pose and camera widgets were both on the left side of the screen so one hand could activate them both in their turn. Or make the positioning of them user-customizable to accommodate righties or lefties.
2017-10-06
Please support split screen!
A truly sensational app. If only it supported split screen on the iPad Pro I’d give it 5 stars. I still have to give it 5 stars because it’s great.
2017-08-08
The best all around pose tool - with dozens of presets!
This is terrific ... already a treasure for artists of any style. I use this for comic books and graphic novel work. Makes a great companion to Comic Draw.
Some wish list items:
- background removal, maybe transparent or green screen
- facial controls
- a version with children and animals,
- or one version and load the model
- clothing wardrobe library

Awesome Human Reference App!
I've been tinkering with ArtPose for just a few minutes, but found it very easy to use. I use Poser Pro 2014 on my Macs and feel quite at home using ArtPose. As a new iPad Pro/Apple Pencil owner, this app has already allowed me to create a posed reference figure and import the image into Procreate. Using the Apple Pencil and the reference image is letting me learn and practice my sketching skills. I am so very happy with this app. Still exploring all the features, but definitely a 5 star app for those who need or want a virtual model for their artwork. Thank you!
2017-05-20
Flawless
Incredible tool for artists
2017-04-30
Great for drawing practice!! Almost perfect for it!!
BUT NEEDS SKELETAL VERSION, I would totally pay for that
2017-04-05
Control is very hard to use
Took a long time to adjust to the pose I want
2017-03-12
Great app. Could use some props though
It's a bit hard to move the joints around but other then that this is a great app. This is just a suggestion but you guys should add props. You know, like weapon, instruments, wings or tails and stuff. It'd make it a lot easier for those who likes to draw all types of characters.
2017-02-27
Fantastic program one suggestion
I really enjoy the work that was put into this program. It fantastic for quick reference and the posing is quick and intuitive. All the additions to the programs have been great. I use this all the time in my comic book work. My one suggestion is the ability to make just the background a solid white or black. When I camera shot the pose I need I spend a lot of time having to carefully select around the pose in my art program. They gradiated gray that is the same color of the model makes it unnecessarily difficult to pull the model reference out from the background.
2017-02-22
Very good
A must buy
2017-01-26
Amazing
Has definitely help me. I'm more of a visual artist so this definitely helps with the more difficult poses.
2017-01-22
4.9999 stars!...
This app is invaluable to me as an illustrator. I would only suggest more nodes on the spinal chord, to make it more flexible.
2016-12-29
Really good but
Really good app and helpful for my artwork but could you update it where we can be able to move each individual finger and their joints. Perhaps make an in-app purchase so that way you'll get more money coming your way. If you do that I get a certain amount of your percent of your monthly gross for 2 years because I suggested that idea hahah.
Message me for business. Ig:rockydugama
2016-12-05
Perfect!
This app is absolutely perfect for me. I use it as a base for illustration work. It's easy to use and intuitive. The preset poses and ability to save your own poses and camera angles makes it a time saver. Absolutely worth the money!
2016-11-30
Great App!
Many various useful features for the price
2016-11-10
Great app
This app is great for quick poses
2016-10-15
Very happy with. Great reference tool.
Using it on iPad Pro 9.7 and my expectations were exceeded. Glad to have picked it up, and definitely recommend it as an artist's reference.
2016-09-24
The lack of IK controls makes it difficult to pose
Please add IK controls to the arms and legs, and world rotation to hip and head. This makes posing a pose 10x efficient. Right now every joint is FK, it takes a lot of time to counter rotate in order to make a simple pose. I would spend less time to pose an Japanese brand plastic figure than this on the iPad.
I really like the perspective slider, this is the only app I find that has this feature.
2016-08-26
Very useful app
I love this app, even with its weird joint rotation. The only suggestion I would have is to implement an IK for the legs. Having to move the leg, then the knee, then the foot makes it very tedious. Other than that , great app.
2016-08-23
Keep it up
This app has proved useful for me when working out the composition stage of my work. Please keep improving it. PLEASE add a movable joint on the pelvis so it can be adjusted apart from the rib cage. Being able to twerk the body type (and height) further would be great too. And as another guy said... skeleton view. Thanks!
2016-08-15
Good, but frustrating to pose.
This app is great for posing and is very well fleshed out with all the features and movable joints. The tons of pre made poses that come with it are great too.
The problem I have is that the joints have a fixed direction, so you have to feel out which direction makes he joint move which way, which is always different depending on what angle you are looking from. It'd be nice if it turned in the direction that you move you finger across the screen, no matter what angle you are looking from.
2016-08-13
Excellent app, but needs to be refined
The positive. This is an incredible resource for artists. The myriad of features are very smart and well thought out. I'm absolutely ecstatic to have this app as an artistic resource. I bought the male and female app, but it would've been nice to have the male and female in one all-inclusive app.
The negative. I'm using this app on a 12.9" iPad Pro, and it doesn't seem optimized for it..very disappointing. Also the interface is not at all intuitive or smooth... it feels very clunky and not so well designed... There are no labels and controls are in random places. And it's not very modern looking or feeling..it's very bland looking. Also the mannequin doesn't seem as high resolution as it could be... I see rough edges. To the developer, I don't mean any disrespect, but if this is the best you could do in terms of design, you should absolutely seek some outside help with it because I think this could be a super popular app among artists. Again I don't mean any disrespect, I'm just being honest because I think this is an important app.
I'll will give this app five stars when it's been optimized for the 12.9" iPad Pro and the interface been improved.

최고의 포즈 자료 앱
업데이트로 더욱 다양한 포즈와 근육을 표현 할 수 있어서 너무 좋습니다.
뼈도 가능했으면 좋겠네요.
Please able to the skeleton converts
2016-07-14
Must have for tattoo artists!
Absolutely indispensable tool if you are a professional tattooer or illustrator. The male and female versions are both amazing, and cut my illustration time down to a fraction of what it was. No more scouring the Internet for that perfect position or pose for reference. I'd pay much more than the mere few bucks these guys charge.
2016-07-09
Best mannequin poser app out there!!
I was looking for something like this for a long time. It combines the anatomy and action poses from every angle. And you can take a snap shot of it and save it when you're done. My hat goes off to you creator of this app! I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the most popular app for artist!
2016-06-20
More useful than any wooden manikin
This Ap is a very powerful artist's tool. I am a newbie and by far this is the most useful anatomy tool I have used.
Now that I have used this Ap for about a year, I can say I believe it to be a gamechanger for art students... and they keep improving it!!! The expanded capability it gives the artist justifies its coat many times over. The companion female figure is similarly impressive!
2016-06-01
Godsend!
As an artist, I'm constantly on the hunt for pose references. This app provides almost everything that I need and more.
I was thinking that I need some sort of control over the lighting and you guys did just that. Thank you! I do hope you'll add the same lighting features to ArtPoseFE next!
Oh, a little side note: When going into the preset poses, the set starts at the middle of the gallery instead of the beginning. A little on the irksome side since scrolling back takes a while, but it's not a huge deal.
2016-04-12
AWESOME
Very useful and intuitive app! Only bit of feedback I have is to try and make the “twisting” of joints a bit easier to do. Great work!
2016-04-10
Character animation?
This is a very good app overall but do you think you can make it so we can record our poses to make it look like the model is moving? Adding frames would be nice
2016-03-18
Really great reference
This is a really wonderful app for artists. I only just got it but I can see it will help with my anatomy knowledge. Now I wish I had an iPad instead of just an iPhone to see the figures on. The save and body type option is great. My only suggestion would be to change the joint ui. It's actually kind of hard to move the body around and rotating limbs is difficult. Maybe try a classic 3D ui approach and give us some handles or indicator for different axis. That'd make this so A++
Edit: after messing around with it and (heh) rereading the tutorial, I found the joints very easy to manipulate! Lovely app. It's everything i was looking for!
2016-03-09
Stellar app, one small thing
An amazingly simple and intuitive app that does ALMOST everything i need. Hope that future updates might include the ability to modify proportions/age. Otherwise great; once you get a hang of it its easy to modify poses without annoying and unwanted twists and contortions!
2016-02-21
Almost the perfect anatomy app
This, by far is the best anatomy reference app on the AppStore imo. It's much better than all of those other anatomy apps with cluttered interfaces, just use wooden mannequins, or have detailed 3d pictures/models but can't be posed. All of the features are incredibly useful for any artist however there are a few features I would suggest to make this the perfect anatomy app.
-Add more body types and more body type editing options. The skinny to muscular slider is a great addition but there's more body types than that. There should be slider for adjusting age( from babies to the elderly) and fat( from a little fat to chubby, chunky and obese etc.) as well. Being able to select a specific part of the body and add/remove fat would be ideal since fat is stored differently for every individual( I've seen people with strange body types like having a fat belly but skinny neck/arms/legs and people with scrawny arms but have sausage fingers). A slider for stocky/short and tall/lanky people is needed too since not everyone has the exact same body type or build. A slider to adjust height would be welcome too. More variety is what I'm getting at.
-Digit manipulation. Being able to edit the fingers/toes individually would be useful.
- facial expression manipulation
- proportion manipulation. Being able to adjust proportions like the length of arms/legs etc would be great for artists that use exaggerated proportions/ stylization like comic/manga artist.
Simpler models/ skeleton. The current models are great but most artist rely on simple shapes and stick figures when sketching a character. I'd love a slider the breaks the body down into simple shapes. A skeleton and simplified skeleton is welcome as well.
If you guys add these features the app would be just about perfect.
2016-02-20
Great app
Been using this app both the iPhone & iPad version seriously for a little over a year now. Finding it very helpful as it does its job, to help bring a pose in mind to life.
Somethings I'd like to see in future updates would be possibly being able to insert say, a large block/ rectangle. Things we can use to lean the models against and such, sit them upon and the like instead of them just floating in that digital grid of a purgatory haha.
Maybe even the insertion of a second model, for some character interaction?
Another idea I've had was playing with the models expressions as well, if not integrated into this app, maybe another paid app dedicated to facial expressions and the adjustment of such for exaggeration.
All in all, I highly recommend this app to anyone who needs a modeling tool, this app is beyond helpful for both art novices to the professionals!
2016-02-13
Amazing but...
The hands just look weird... The pinky is way long and the thumb's joint is too far from the hand.
Sometimes the joints are a bit weird, but I guess that's the inherent limitation of a computer model...? Still really awesome app.
Although... The 90s called... They want their UI back ;)
2016-01-20
Absolutely awesome!
Best poser ever, and judging from the responsiveness of the devs, it's going to get even better. There is also a female version, btw.
2016-01-18
Fantastic!!
Such a great tool. Keeps updating and getting better. The best tool out there for posing a figure.
2015-12-19
Amazing!
I just want to say thank you for the fantastic work that you have accomplished with this app. Five star review… Not enough stars… Amazing work has been accomplished for the iPad… with programs like this, it makes the iPad a strong workhorse for artists. Again not enough stars to shine for both programs… Thank you!!! This app just keeps getting better :-). You guys did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!
2015-10-21
Wow!!!
Not only does it show the muscle anatomy in detail, not only does it allow to freely pose the figure and change their body type, but it also accurately shows how the muscle change, expand, and contract as you pose the figure. As an animator and artist in training, I can definitely recommend it!!!
2015-10-09
Amazing!
What an amazing app! Wish I had this a while ago. Very easy to control. Now I can get my drawings faster since all I have to do is think of the pose, set it and draw. Is like having the model right in front of you. One suggestion: please make an app of the head that you could create face expressions. that would complete the set. Congrats on a great app!
2015-09-25
Artist; Illustrator; Educator
This app would get 5 STARS hands down except for the following glitch. I would’ve reported a problem, but, there’s no contact info at the site. My tablet is an iPad Air running 9.0.1. The posing functionality stops and stutters so much that I’ve had to abandon certain poses because it simply takes too much effort and time to achieve. ArtPose FE WORKS PERFECTLY. Really smooth and completely responsive to the UI. Can you get a fix up quickly? DYING TO USE THIS APP!
2015-09-19
TOO DOPE
AMAZING app. Bought female, was like WOAH. So I bought the male version. There's nothing like thee two apps. Everyone else offers the same static poses. They're useful for learning the actual anatomical parts. BUT these two apps offer you a dynamic interactive way of learning how the anatomical parts MOVE TOGETHER. And in poses YOU WANT. Thank you for filling this much desired need in the marketplace.
2015-09-02
Must have art tool
The latest update has brought some overal amazing improvement to the app.
The body mass slider is definitely a good addition, as well as the pose saving.
Previously it had been a few months before I'd touch this app, randomly felt like hitting the sketchbook for some random poses.
Was pleasantly surprised with the new tricks.
I'd love to see Facial expressions added to the list in the future!
As well as a heavier body type, not just muscle, but maybe a physique more on the chunky side? Just a thought!
Also would be cool if we could do something with the fingers as well, that'd be awesome!. Keep up the great work guys!
I highly recommend this app to any and all my friends who are artists a must have app!
2015-08-17
Loving it for the possibilities.
I am an art student and this is such a great tool. Though I am enamored by what it can do now, I feel it has great potential.
Would love to see more customizing features such as more hairstyles, facial features, body colors, body structures (no muscles, overweight,etc.) Would also love to have an option of having more than one model at a time so as to create an actual scene. Please keep up the great work and keep those updates coming.
Thanks for creating this!
2015-07-14
Amazing
After messing around with the app, I am impressed with the model and its many different poses! It will help me become a better artist for sure. The buttons are easy to learn, the update gives me a skinny/ muscular version, it's great!
Now, I'd give it five stars if we could have some different faces, a menu for all of those poses(I'd hate to cycle through all of those poses and miss the one I intended to use), and perhaps an option for the model to have a plain looking body(no muscles, just average body type), but I know that's asking for a lot lol. But I truly thank you guys for this amazing app and I look forward to future updates. I'll also download the female version.
2015-05-27
Absolutely excellent, one of the bests.
This one is one of the best tools for the artist who does the figure. The anatomy is dynamic, and actually changes as you move it in an accurate way. It shows more true form, and it's just awesome. It's a great tool. Apps like this are invaluable to rapid learning. They help make learning the figure and anatomy not so daunting which is why I can't wait to show those who I teach the app. Once I saw the way the muscles bulked up in dynamics and how it's sculpted I knew it was amazing.
2015-05-16
Excellent update.
This update adds the features I have been hoping for all along. The muscle mapping and body mass sliders to really create exactly what I want. Saving camera angle: Thank you! The controls for the new features are intuitive and easy to use. If you are looking for a posing app, this is simply the best one out there. Can't wait for the female version to have the same features. (One last wish: ability to export a high resolution image.) Great work.
Previous review: I have been a user of the Pose Tool app up until now, always wishing it were more user friendly. This app provides the ease of manipulation that i have been searching for. Hopefully a few more features will be added and it will be complete. These are my wishes: 1-Adjustable body types. It would be nice to be able to adjust muscle mass. 2-Removable skin. I would like to be able to see the muscle structure underneath. 3- Need a female model option. 4-(and i am being spoiled here) but could these models be in color?

Not quite what I expected.
I was hoping that with the promise of node selection and 'easy posing' meant that the app used a system of inverse kinematics (IK) the way 3D modeling packages let you manipulate figures intuitively, do, but that wasn't the case and it seems we're still lacking an app that can follow through with that. It seems like this would be the next logical step as that type of posing system has existed in modeling and animation packages already for quite a long time now.
Maybe in a future update.
The skinning of the models has improved over other earlier apps, but there is still noticeable pinching in the joints when bent.

Awesome app!!!!!
This app was just what I was looking for without having to buy a bunch of other tools. The perspective angles with the muscles showing correctly are the best that I have found without having to go find a beefcake to sketch, lol. I wish it would let you do s little more in the lighting area but it still has it and let's you move it around. It's a good enough app I'm going to buy the female version soon.

My new favorite reference Tool
Great reference app! The model is very nicely detailed, it comes with 15 default poses, and 15 hand poses that are easy to control independently. Additionally, it is by far the most user friendly pose app when it comes to creating your own poses, unrivaled in my opinion. Most apps that I have tried will either not have a way to manipulate the models at all, or the lack detail and make it easy to create awkward poses that don't look natural and sometimes not even anatomically correct.
I really hope it continues to be expanded upon, a female model is an obvious one, but it would be the ultimate greatest if eventually we can control the hand and fingers. Perhaps even face one day...
This is already a wonderful app with tons of potential to get even better. Highly recommended.

Awesome artist tool!
What a great idea, and excellent execution. It's so easy to manipulate the figure in a natural way. I look forward to referencing this often in my comic-style drawings. I do think it can benefit from female models and maybe some options for various body styles of each. At any rate , great app. I was a bit skeptical about spending money on something that didn't have many reviews, but this is the real deal. If you're looking for a handy mannequin reference, this is the one. Thanks to the developer!
