Tired of spending more time looking for references than drawing? Whether you draw ship art, sexy pin-ups, or cute girls, here are 5 places to find better NSFW references for your lewd drawings.

0) B-Side Poser

Great for: Finding nsfw pose reference & inspiration when all you want to do is draw

After noticing a lack of lewd pose references online, we decided to take matters into our own hands. B-Side Poser provides you with spicy drawn references that you can use for your personal and commercial works, no terms attached.

1) Pinterest

Great for: Finding inspiration through home feed & drawing tutorials by other artists

Pinterest is an image share platform where users pin images onto boards. Pinterest’s home feed and recommended images has never failed to inspire me, and I’m constantly pinning new images.

Here’s a board called “Lewd drawing ideas” to get you started. Unfortunately, Pinterest doesn’t allow explicit/sexual images, but there are still lots of NSFW-ish images.

2) Reddit

Great for: Finding specific content and amateur uploads (NSFW Friendly)

Reddit allows members to submit to dedicated subreddits. The best part is there are a ton of specialized NSFW subs.

r/NSFW411 has a wiki listing all NSFW subreddit. Need amateur couples having sex reference? Maybe sloppy blowjobs?

I personally love browsing subreddits featuring people who post their own content (e.g. r/RealGirls, r/Gonewild18)

3) Porn Pic Sites

Great for: HD shots and varying angles

Porn gallery sites which feature HD photo sets. These are great for studying angles and anatomy because of their photo quality.

PornPics is my go-to. Their search system is pretty good, and they have a good library of image categories.

Another good one is JavPornPics, thought they don’t have image categories.

4) Image Boorus

Great for: Art style studies and specific content

Boorus are imageboards that organize with tags. These are amazing if you need a specific pose or kink.

My go-to is Danbooru. They curate hentai artworks and tag them thoroughly, even including artist information and social media. If you’re in need of spread legs hentai, or uncensored pussy shots, just throw your tag search in! You can even search for artists.

Free users can only search two tags at a time, but that’s been enough for the 5+ years I’ve used it.

Alternatives include:

• Gelbooru – Bit messier than Danbooru, but same idea
• Safebooru – SFW anime artworks
• Booru List

5) Art Books

Great for: Finding inspiration and consistent content

If you like studying from one source, or just like a particular artist’s style (and don’t mind the spending), then art books are the way to go. From experience, there are several types of art books:

a) Artwork collection books

These books collect artworks from one or more artists. Sometimes themed, or just personal art.

b) Pose Books

Collection of poses. There are themed ones as well, depending on what you need.

c) Tutorial Books

These sometimes feature various artists, so make sure to check before buying. If you want to browse, you can find a good selection at JList.

Be careful though, not all art books are translated!
