Character Design References™ (CDR) is a webzine dedicated to the art of animation, video games, comics and illustration and it's the largest community of character designers on the Internet. Every day we share the finest artworks, collect the best tutorials and showcase the greatest animated shorts with an international community of over 500.

Cute anime poses will feature classic or “neutral” poses.
Sexy anime poses will feature suggestive and/or NSFW poses.
Fighting anime poses will be poses that could incorporate props like swords, guns, or even pool noodles; the only limitation is your imagination.
Action anime poses are poses that are more dynamic in nature, so think odd camera angles or limbs in all kinds of random positions.
Sitting anime poses are obviously characters sitting. I think that’s pretty self explanatory.
Girl/female and Boy/male sections should also be self explanatory.
Hands are hands.

The whole point of this site is to have easy to copy/reference frameworks for poses so you can get on with it. Feel free to use any pose on this site. It’s all free. I go find the cool poses and then I sketch the reference frameworks myself to save you the trouble.

This is an educational tool so there’s no need to give credit. But if you like the site, why keep it to yourself? Maybe someone else could use a little help with figuring out their poses. Spread the word.

Regardless for why you are here, we got you. Should you be relatively new to drawing anime and need some help with making sure things are in the right place, we’ll make sure those limbs are the right length. Or perhaps you are a seasoned veteran, but you can’t decide which pose to use or you are just lazy. That’s cool too. There’s nothing wrong with being indecisive or lazy. This site is here to serve.
