JustSketchMe is a digital tool for artists who need flexible figures for sketching references. For those interested in incorporating figures into their art, it's a great way to breathe life into your characters without interrupting your creative groove.
When you need a reference, select a figure and tailor it with basic features like height and build. You can also choose between different character drawing styles, like anime or superheroes.
Here's a sneak peek:
Once you’ve got your character, it’s time to pose. Choose from the library of over 200 different basic poses or adjust each joint to create the perfect drawing reference for your art. Then, you can move the camera around the scene, zoom in or out as needed, and adjust the field of view to find the angle and perspective you need.
You can even control the position, direction, and intensity of the lighting and add basic shapes to create props. When you finish up, you can export your 3D models to .dae or .obj formats, so you’ll have your references ready when inspiration strikes.
A lifetime subscription to this tool is typically $540, but you can snag it on sale for just $49.99 for a limited time.
