Frequently Asked Questions

What is this website anyway?

This is the official website for Justin R. Martin, the author and artist of the Pose For Artists book series, among others. Here you'll find his art reference books, free poses, public appearances, links to social spaces, biography/intentions, and more. 

Are all of the poses in your books originals?

Yes, all of the drawings in my books and online are my originals. Some of them are based on photo references that I purchase, some are drawn from my imagination. 

Can I use your pose references freely for my art?

Absolutely. My poses are free to use for your new original artwork, commercial or otherwise, and you don't even have to credit me. 

It does help me out though if you tag me, do a review or give me a general shoutout online. 

The poses I draw are intended to help inspire you to create new art, and to help understand the human form.  If you make money with my references and want to appreciate me by supporting the project, you could buy a book.

I’ve noticed that a lot of your female poses seem sexualized. Could create some regular day-to-day poses of women with different body types?

A. My books include over two thousand poses that have a mix of all gender body types. 

I can understand the perspective that some of the poses seem idealized, the majority of them are based on actual photos of real people. 

My intention with these poses are to inspire you to draw, and artists are encouraged to change the body-type of any pose to fit their needs and interests without limitations.

I support body positivity.
