AdorkaStock – Providing Pose References by Artists, for Artists

Since 2007, AdorkaStock (formerly SenshiStock) has been working as a pose reference model and photographer to bring the artistic community work-safe reference photos. Reference photos are an integral part of creating realistic works; artists for thousands of years have utilized in-person models and later photographs to help them understand anatomy, foreshortening, and proportion to give their artworks life.

While the idea of stock photos for artists is not new, AdorkaStock provides reference photos you would not find elsewhere: the AdorkaStock free pose gallery is dedicated to providing diverse images of people of all genders, all races, and most importantly, of all body types, making it easier than ever to create artwork exactly as desired. Better yet, because all of the AdorkaStock resources are safe-for-work, they can (and have!) be used in teaching environments for artistic exercises and practice.

This site is your hub for the latest AdorkaStock drawing reference poses. Use AdorkaStock Sketch web app every day for timed, rotating drawing practice! The AdorkaStock free pose gallery is now here! Pack purchases on Ko-fi give you premium, early access to stock images long before they are available in public galleries, but most of these images will eventually be available for free.

You can subscribe to AdorkaStock.com packs for a discount through Patreon! If you choose to purchase them in advance, you’ll have access to them months, and usually years, before the public and you’ll also help support the creation of more stock.
