About

I realized while practicing gesture drawing that usually the model got stuck in my head.
So I figured, drawing poses using photos of interesting models and characters will be much more stimulating

With that in mind I put together a library of images of cool models and poses for people to practice gesture drawing.

Get your Quickposes certificate 01 / 04 / 2012

 Right now

The idea is a simple one: 

 I keep track of the time you spend drawing. When you reach a certain amount of time you will be awarded a Quickposes certificate.

I will put your name on the certificate, print it, sign it & ship it to your door. All I ask of you is to donate €5 ($7) via paypal, so I don't go broke with the costs associated with printing and shipping worldwide. Don't worry, leftover money will go straight to the bank where it will collect interest so, hopefully, one day I can buy me a new ferrari.

How do I get this magical piece of paper ?

Don't forget to put your email in the input box on the gesture drawing or challenge page. I'll do the rest.


After that, all you have to do is practice ! how much? read the details on the info page

So people this is what I have been working on the last couple of weeks. I hope you like it. Right now I'm out of ideas for Quickposes. Which is probably a good thing because spring is around the corner which means time to get out of the house.

Anyways, everybody, peace out, I'm out to enjoy the great weather with friends. Do the same, if you can, and enjoy life !

 Ciao !

Without further ado, I present to you 06 / 03 / 2012

 Challenges

I decided I wanted to finish the new feature tonight so ignored common sense and put aside my sleep schedule and other important stuff. I am gonna regret this tomorrow morning but I think it's worth it.

So I present to you challenges. Each challenge is a collection of poses handpicked and curated by me. Do a challenge each day and practice specific poses !

Something else to keep you warm: while creating the challenges I was struck by a very cool idea. I have designed it on paper, now just need to develop it. That will be for another day. 

Now ...ZzzZZzz....

 p.s.
just so you know, the blue "new" icon was tottaly designed by me...
 

I'm doing good, thank you very much 26 / 02 / 2012

Last night.

It suddenly hit me. A cool new feature. I didn't hesitate for a moment and went straight to work. I started programming at 20.00 and didn't stop untill 2 a.m. The result was that I woke up this morning with a programming hangover. 

The feature is not yet finished but I can't wait to roll it out so stay tuned !

Some other news. Mr . Lee was kind enough to allow me to use his stock photos from DeviantArt.  400+ male nudes! Well thank you very much! I haven't seen this much penis since an episode of Sex and The City.

Ciao !

Continuation of Quickposes 28 / 01 / 2012

 

As you know I have reconsidered and decided to keep the site online. I fixed a few bugs here and there and optimized the site a little bit during the last few days.

More importantly I have deleted the search function. Organizing content was a cumbersome process. I have stripped away all the categories except for two: Gender and Clothing type( e.g. Nude vs non-nude poses). This allows me to upload multiple files very easily. I thought it would be cool if you could look up a specific pose but organizing a library of thousands of files is just way too much work for one person. Besides, there a few commercial sites who already have huge libraries of reference images for artists.

I have also gone through the entire pose library and deleted all the overly erotic poses. They are just way too distracting and weird for practicing gesture drawing.

Untill next time, stay tuned !

Quickposes will be shutdown 31 Jan 03 / 01 / 2012

Hey guys,

I have decided to pull the plug on Quickposes. Let me explain why.

The last few months were pretty hectic but also fun and interesting. I started a new job and I have also been working on a secret personal project. Together with my social life and training there isn't much time and energy left in me.

It takes a lot of time and effort in finding new content and organizing everything. I had a lot of plans and new ideas for Quickposes but right now isn't the time for me to be working on Quickposes. I am going to put the system offline and archive it, and who knows, maybe some day I'll get back to it and complete it as intended or maybe release it on a mobile platform. Who knows, Who knows...

I hope you enjoyed Quickposes and that it was helpfull in some way to you.

Happy new year and Enjoy Life

Peace !

I have received plees from people to keep the site online and I will answer the call.

But I am planning on changing some stuff here and there to make it much easier for me to upload and sort images and to mantain the site.

Stay tuned...
