Why SODA BODY

1

The exact reference, not the closest one

Set the pose, the angle and the camera yourself instead of scrolling Pinterest for an image that's almost right.

Build a reference →
2

A tool and a library in one

The posable figure works with 1000+ illustrated Sodaguy Tips on anatomy, body types, clothes and hair. There's always something to study, not just one purchase you forget.

From idea to reference in a minute

Pick a pose or copy one from a photo, turn the camera, export. It's ready for your drawing app, and for character work with AI (lines, depth and OpenPose exports).

Not just anatomy

Sodaguy Tips for everything you draw

Fair questions

Is it hard to learn?

No. Open a ready-made pose or copy one from a photo, then drag a hand and the arm follows. A short guided tour shows you around on your first visit, and every tool has a 10-second clip in How it works above.

Why not free images or other anatomy apps?

A found image is one angle, one body and someone else's light. Here you choose the angle, the build, the lens and the light, and the joints can't bend into impossible positions. Everything you need to start is free: every lesson, 115 Sodaguy Tips sheets spread over every topic, the pose editor and 4 poses of your choice to try.

What does Pro really add?

Free stays useful for good; Pro isn't the basics held back. It adds what takes the most work to make: all 1000+ Sodaguy Tips, Soda Studio scenes, all 122 library poses built from photos of real people, copying poses from your photos, unlimited exports and layered PSDs, and timed sessions. Try it 7 days free, no card.
