I colored this. How did I do?

Be kind 😊

... Read moreHey everyone! Let's be real, drawing groups of people can be one of the trickiest things in art, right? Especially when you're trying to get three characters to interact naturally and look dynamic. I used to really struggle with making my 'draw the squad' pieces feel alive instead of just three stiff figures standing next to each other. That's why I started diving deep into finding awesome '3 people pose reference' ideas! For me, the key is to think about the story you're trying to tell. Are your characters fighting, laughing, whispering a secret, or just hanging out? Each scenario calls for different 'drawing poses 3 people' can adopt. I often start by looking for a good 'art base' or 'drawing base pose' that gives me a general silhouette. This saves so much time compared to trying to invent every limb from scratch. Sometimes, I even just do a quick 'pose sketsa' to capture the overall flow and balance before adding details. One thing I've learned is that interaction is everything. Even if they're not touching, their body language should suggest a connection. For 'three people drawing reference', I love poses where characters are at different heights or angles – maybe one is sitting, another is leaning, and the third is standing tall. This adds so much visual interest and makes the composition more dynamic. Don't be afraid to have them overlapping slightly; it creates a sense of depth and togetherness. When I'm hunting for 'poses for drawing 3 people', I scour Pinterest, real-life photos, and even movie stills. Sometimes, seeing how actors naturally interact gives the best 'pose art reference'. But honestly, having a curated collection of specific '3 person pose reference' sheets is a lifesaver when you're on a deadline or just feeling a bit stuck. They give you that perfect starting point to twist and adapt to your own character's personalities. Remember, these references are a guide, not a prison! Feel free to modify arms, legs, heads – whatever makes it uniquely yours. Practicing different types of 'three people poses drawing' is super helpful for building your visual library. Try action-packed poses one day, then switch to more relaxed, conversational ones the next. It expands your understanding of human anatomy and balance. What are your favorite tricks for drawing multiple characters? Share your '3 people drawing' tips below!

I’m never going back to crayons or colored pencils
I used to love coloring but it started to annoy me with how chunks would go on the paper with crayons and that colored pencils just don’t seem as pigmented anymore. I kept seeing people on tiktok use the alcohol markers and coloring really nicely with them and I eventually gave in and bought them
