Easy Sketch Pose
Easy Sketch Pose is a human posing and drawing all-in-one app designed for people who want to draw with good 3d reference for anatomy and perspective.
Pose characters and static objects in the 3d layer and draw in 2d layers over the perfectly posed character with easy to use controls and seamless switching between 2d and layers.
SETUP COMPLEX LAYOUTS
Setup complex layouts easily by importing in external OBJ and animated FBX files, changing lighting and using different visual modes to get a wide variety of looks.
Play with light and shadows to get beautiful compositions, add a wide variety of hundreds of bundled 3d models from airplanes to buildings for complex scenes.
POSE AND DRAW
Have you ever wanted a professional model who would perform a variety of poses to make drawing animation, illustrations, and sketching easier? By manipulating the 3D model on the screen, you can create poses seen in everyday life, sports, martial arts, etc., and then draw on a seperate layer for getting the right proportions and perspective.
IMPORT 3D MESHES
Add background details easily by importing in .OBJ files and .FBX files into the 3D layer and merge it seamlessly into the main 2D scene.
Use the inbuilt models of 3d cities, vehicles, trees,interiors and hundreds of props to add complexity to your compositions.
PRECISE BRUSH CONTROL
Easily control brush curves,smoothness and thick/thin with 3 simple controls.
“Catch up” controls on the brush allows precise drawing curve control with beautiful lines.
Pressure sensitivity and Windows Ink compatibility fully supported on Wacom/Huion/Xppen tablets.
DIFFERENT VISUAL STYLES
Switch between grayscale,black white outline and grayscale toon shading in the 3D scene
Snapshot and integrate 3D scenes seamlessly into a 2D layer for an seamless 2d/3d look.

There were quite a few negative reviews for this application, and after trying it out I was compelled to add a positive review. Not sure if the other reviews were related to an earlier version, but I didn't come across any issues rotating limbs, changing poses and did not see lag. The ability to import an obj file, change the shading type then go into a 2D mode to draw over a personalised 3D reference is intuitive.
One tip that may be confusing new users - when you select a limb, the overlay which controls the rotation/movement is huge and you cannot click any other limb it overlaps. The only way to select another limb is to click away into empty space, which will deselect all limbs and allow you to select a new one. Also only certain key points of the figure can be moved on the xyz axis (feet/torso etc), all the other limbs can only rotate, which makes sense actually. I'm thinking maybe these two quirks were confusing people thinking they couldn't rotate other limbs or that the app was lagging.
