Pose — A simple web app for character posing
Great illustrations start with Pose! Design a character exactly the way you want it and follow the guidelines to bring it to life with any drawing app.

The are many posing tools out there but they all feature 3D models that are incredibly complicated to manipulate.
Pose appears to be flexible enough while using a 2D/pseudo-3D model that should be powerful enough to manipulate into any pose, without being time consuming, intimidating or hard to use.
My only concern is that it's a web app which probably means I won't be able to access it without an internet connection if I do buy it... which would suck 😅

Hey PH!
I’m surprised and excited to have Pose featured today, thank you @yellingbytes! 😱
I’m an illustrator and even though I draw for years, I’ve always struggled with character illustration. So I wanted to create a simple tool that would help people like me with illustrating 2D characters. 🕺
I created Pose so everyone can easily design a character exactly the way they want it. Then they can take the guidelines into any drawing app and paint them to bring their character to life. Pose is a light web app that works in your browser, you can access it from your computer/tablet, and I believe it would make your life easier when it comes to character illustration.
I’ll do my best to answer any questions you might have, looking forward to seeing the illustrations you make! Post it on social media and tag me (@thegalshir) and #madewithpose. ✍️

Awesome! Really like it and good luck with it! :) .. for my taste it’s too expensive. I understand that you are an independent artist, but I can get affinity designer plus photo (iPad) for that price
This looks incredible! I love the website and the explainer videos too, they do a great job of showcasing the product, very easy to immediately see the use.
This is exactly what i've been looking for a long time :) I'm not a full time illustrator so my Human anatomy isn't soo good, Always having issue with character poses but now Pose gonna help me a lot, Thank you so much fir this Great Product Gal Shir :)
Great idea. Would be nice if there was a super stripped down model that you could manipulate online before purchasing.
Looks really cool! Why did you decide to build it as a web app and not a native app?
@galklieger Good question!
👍
1. I wanted Pose to be a light-weight tool that can be accessed from any device.
2. Web apps are easier to maintain and to update with new features regularly.
3. I’m a web developer so I knew I could do my best in an environment I have experience with.
@galklieger considering this is a paid resource/tool, I'd appreciate having the option to use it completely offline. Paying for something and then not having access to it when you need it sucks... Or is Pose a PWA, meaning it can be used offline? 🤔
This looks great, however I would have preferred it to be a downloadable app so that I don't have to worry about making sure you'll be still around when I need to use it
Thanks @saverio_murgia1! Makes sense :) maybe in the future it'll be available also as a native app

@galgalshir I use it today and it works well. I wish to have fingers, animal may be the next step etc.
Gal what you did look amazing! have a lot of good luck, if you need any help in marketing or something else i'll be happy to help! good luck!
Good for newbie beginners to the Internet (not just drawing) who literally don’t know that better products exists for free, with the option to buy even more figures for cheap. “Pose” features generic 2D child’s play posing for $20-30, and if you try to make a more unique pose it’s actually hard to translate the shoulders turning. Get MagicPoser from app stores for free, does exactly what I was hoping Pose actually did and wish their videos more clearly showed their app being used. MagicPoser, a free app, has more sense to their models, more customization of movement, accurate figures and proportions, realism and anime, 3D shading for reference, and more. FOR. FREE. Thank me later. The only difference? Pose is an Instagram fad for instagrammers to get 1 minute of fame by tagging #madewithpose.
@anonymaid I’ve downloaded “magic poser” but it’s really different from “pose”...with magic poser you cannot draw on
Thanks @gad_bornstein! The idea actually came from the design world. If UX designers create wireframes at first, why illustrators don't start with guiding wireframes as well? 🙂
Although sketching is a common step in the process, it's usually harder, more challenging, and takes a longer time than the drawing process itself. So I started brainstorming a way to make that step easier so more people could start to illustrate simple characters. I tested and prototyped different ideas until I realized that building an interactive wire-puppet could be the right solution.
Hi I have an issue after I bought the app I got this massage Oops! It seems like your email or license aren't corrent, or that your browser is in Private (Incognito) mode.
Hey! It's a really cool app and very useful but I'd also like to suggest if you could enable vertical poses and a 360 angle then I'd call it a perfect app; other than that you've done a great job!
