Group pose reference: three friends, a family, a team of six

Drawing one person is easier than a group that holds together, where bodies overlap and heights change. These sheets show three friends with arms around shoulders, a family posed close with a child on a shoulder, and a team of six with a back row standing and a front row crouched. Each group comes in clean contour, graphite, and gesture. Type a different group, such as a couple, and the same groups carry it.

• a reference for a crowd that overlaps
• a sketchbook page on how people stand together

Frequently asked questions

What groups are shown?

Three friends posed together, a family of parents, a grandparent and two children, and a team of six in two rows.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Clean contour is outlines only with no shading, graphite has soft tonal shading, and gesture is a loose sketch with the movement kept.

Are these photographs?

No. Each row is a flat drawing on a plain ground line with no background.

Can I ask for a different group?

Yes. Type a direction such as kids or couple, and it is a request for that, not a promised result.

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.
