Here are some extremely useful pose guides made by Aomori over on deviantArt.
This is mostly just a reference for myself because I just lost these and couldn’t remember where to find them, so I’m not going to bother tagging. But I thought some of my followers could also possibly use these too.
Considering my tendency to draw women over men, this is useful.
helloooooo useful poses
