Customizable 3D figures with new AI posing

Place 3D drawing figures and head models directly onto the canvas.
You can also attach props to your 3D model like hats and shoes, to instantly create a reference close to your character design.
Customizable body shapes and camera angles make it even more ideal to reference. Bring poses to life with the help of the pose scanner that reads poses from photos and the hand scanner that mimics the pose of your hand with a camera.

Draw intricate hands with ease

The hand scanner makes drawing challenging hand poses a breeze. It reads a hand’s pose live from your device’s camera and applies it to the hand of a 3D drawing figure.

Preview compositions with 3D models

Find the best composition before you start drawing. Import your own files or download pre-made buildings, furniture, crowds, vehicles, and many other materials to lay down your composition.

3D support for drawing faces

Create your very own facial reference with our adjustable head model.
Fine-tune overall shape, eyes, nose, eyebrows, ears, mouth, and other parts.
The base head can also be transformed into various styles, such as realistic, chibi, and anime.

3D drawing figure references

Pose 3D drawing models in detail from the head and body to the fingers and toes to use as drawing references. You can also attach props to your 3D model like hats and shoes, to instantly make it closer to your character design. Effortlessly draw difficult poses and angles that are difficult to imagine.

View 3D materials from all angles at once

When placing a 3D material, you can view from four angles simultaneously. You can also change the position of the camera and the focal point on the 3D layer. When you change the camera position from the All sides view palette, the model also adjusts on the canvas.
