POC POSES
Redefining representation in art
POC Poses is a groundbreaking platform providing a diverse library of timed pose references featuring people of color, solving the lack of inclusivity in artistic resources by empowering artists of all levels to represent POC with accuracy and respect.
POC Poses Story
At POC Poses, our mission is to provide artists with a diverse and inclusive timed reference drawing resource that reflects the beauty and uniqueness of people of color. Most existing platforms predominantly showcase skinny or white individuals, leaving little room for authentic representation.
After years of struggling to find suitable references through overly specific Google searches that still fell short, I decided to create a solution.
POC Poses offers over 4,000 carefully curated photos featuring diverse skin tones, body types, and poses, making it easier for artists to draw characters that truly represent the world around them.
By breaking down barriers and celebrating diversity, we aim to empower creativity, inspire representation, and build a community where everyone can see themselves reflected in art.
Timed Practice
Beta
Timed practice is a focused drawing exercise where artists work within set time limits to capture the essence of a pose quickly and efficiently. Keep in mind that the Beta gallery only contains 100 photos more will be uploaded in the future.
