Poseit

Pose references without the wooden mannequin

Poseit is a 3D figure reference tool for artists who need to work out body positions before drawing. It suits illustrators, comic artists, animators, and anyone studying gesture, perspective, or character movement on an Android device. Instead of copying a fixed model, you can build a pose and view it from different angles.

Move the figure as a whole

The app uses a simplified mannequin rather than a highly detailed anatomical model. That keeps the reference open to different drawing styles, from stylised characters to more realistic studies. Its inverse-kinematics controls let you move a limb while related joints respond, reducing the need to adjust every part of the body by hand.

Poseit also includes screen-space rotation, which makes posing more practical on a touchscreen. You can manipulate the figure through the view in front of you instead of treating it like a conventional 3D modelling workspace with several technical axes to manage.

Useful for scene planning

Support for more than one model helps when you are checking how figures relate to each other. A female mannequin and a selection of props can be used to build a basic scene, test interactions, or establish the direction and balance of a composition before you start drawing. The models are guides, not finished artwork, which is useful when you want control over the final design.

Scout notes

Poseit comes from 1ManBand and sits in the Art & Design category. Its 4.0 rating from 8,373 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs suggest that it has found a substantial audience among mobile artists. This is a focused reference app rather than a full drawing suite, and it makes the most sense if arranging a pose is part of your regular workflow.
