In this video, I walk through how to take a downloadable pose file from my site, trace the core structure, and turn it into a full character pencil sketch—in this case, Supergirl!

Since AI image generators restrict creating third-party copyrighted characters, using pose files is one of the best ways to get a solid anatomical foundation while keeping 100% creative control over fan art and protected IP.

To keep things quick and digestible (and avoid dropping a 4-hour video!), this tutorial focuses strictly on the initial tracing and rough sketching process. You know, the fun part.

📌 What’s Covered in This Video:

Importing and placing the pose reference file.

Tracing the main structural lines and anatomy anchors.

Sketching Supergirl’s suit, cape, hair, and character details.
