>>7589957>Where do NSFW artists get their references fromOther art. Random photos I find while browsing. My references folder has over 2000 files in it and is 27 gigs.
Some stuff is literally impossible to see irl without getting mindbendingly-creative so you have to reference other art. Other stuff is quite literally random as fuck like VHS covers or how picrel uses a gorilla.
I also save other artists' YCH poses for my own purposes if I like them. It's free real estate.
>is there a site that aggregates good naked poses in both pornographic and pose-type situations?If you want specifically photos of near-nakes people...

>do people just go through hours of porn videos to find a pose they like?Years ago a hentai artist I like wrote that he does this from what I could translate of his page. He cited something about how JAV videos have better camera angles than photographs for making erotic art because the cameramen aren't afraid of getting into weird positions to maximize the erotic appeal. Apparently at one point in japan you could buy photobooks of erotic photos with similar camera angles too.
I don't really watch or enjoy 3dpd porn so I don't really do this myself though.
But both SFW and NSFW artists take screens from non-porn movies and shows for reference. I do do this at times.
