What poses are on the sheets?

Three pairings: a close embrace, two people walking hand in hand, and a ballroom dance hold. Each pairing is drawn once in each style, nine pictures in all.

How do the three styles differ?

Clean outline is one black contour, mannequin is built from ovals and joint circles with faceless heads, and pencil sketch keeps the light construction strokes visible.

Can I trace over the outlines?

Yes. The lines are clean and even on a white page, so they can be traced or used as a base.

Can I ask for a different pair?

Yes. Type the pair you want in the direction field and the sheet is drawn to match, though it is a request, not a promised result.

Couple pose references: embrace, walking together, dancing pair

Couple pose references — two figures in a standing hug, one resting a head on the other's shoulder, arms wrapped around the back, the overlap of the bodies clearly drawn, a clean outline drawing of both bodies in simple clothes, one uniform black contour, the faces kept to a few simple lines

Reading 1Embrace

Reading 2Walking together

Reading 3Dancing pair

Drawing two people together means seeing where the bodies overlap and where the hands rest. These drawings show pairs in a close embrace, walking side by side and dancing, as clean outlines on a plain white page. Each pairing is drawn three ways: a clean outline, a construction mannequin and a loose pencil sketch. Type a different pair, such as a wedding pose or two friends sitting, and the sheet is drawn to it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
