By , About.com Guide

Use this collection of reference photos of figures for inspiration and ideas for the poses of people in a painting, including 'matchstick men' in the style of the painter LS Lowry. When painting a small figure, look particularly at the angles of the arms, legs, and body, as well as the light/dark tones in a figure overall. For tips, see How to Paint Small Figures from Photos.
