Hey artists! Tired of scouring the internet for reference material? Does the NSA think you’re a weirdo for looking up all those skeleton pictures? Got no-body to pose for you? Its going tibia ok, the Skelly app is just what you need! With the Skelly app you can literally pull the inspiration you need right out of your pocket anywhere, anytime! Skelly is a fully poseable, anatomically correct reference skeleton for artists. A simplified version of the skeleton is also included, named “Robo-Skelly”. These figures were created to make the study of anatomy easier and more enjoyable for students and professionals without leaving your wallets bone dry. They can also be used to inspire poses for drawing, painting, sculpting, illustration, animation, comics, manga, storyboarding, twerking, and to fully understand the anatomy of the human skeleton. No need for super gluteus, Skelly comes pre-assembled and ready to pose as soon as you launch the app! Learning the structure of the human body is the skeleton key to drawing the figure in an anatomically correct manner without having to clear your browser history to avoid awkward conversations with your loved ones. Whether you want to make works like Michelangelo or Miyazaki, Skelly will help you focus on your art and let you personalize his poses, rather than searching for reference material and hiring models. Learn to draw the skeleton from any angle without the inconvenient and morally questionable need to go grave robbing. FEATURES: Anatomically correct skeleton Simplified “Robo Skelly” Proportions based on the teachings of Dr. Paul Richer Skull fits perfectly into a “Loomis Head” as taught by Andrew Loomis Poseable joints Pose Library - choose from pre made poses and save your own Movable camera Adjustable light source Choose light or dark background Reset to neutral “Anatomical Pose” PEOPLE LOVE IT: James Gurney, author of ‘Color and Light’ and ‘Imaginative Realism’ Says: "Bend him, twist him, contort him! The Skelly app lets you put a virtual human skeleton into any pose, and to see him from any angle, and in any lighting. It’s a great tool for art students or professionals wondering what the skeleton is really doing beneath a life pose, or for anyone wanting to visualize a pose from scratch. The interface is intuitive to learn and easy to use, without sacrificing any of the nuances of the human body’s complex range of movement. Skelly is a big improvement over the old wooden mannikin." - Chris Oatley, Director Of The Oatley Academy Of Visual Storytelling Says: "Skelly is the fastest, most fluid anatomical reference I have ever seen. I was shocked at how easy it is to pose the figure and direct the light source. Finally! It’s the app visual artists have been waiting for." Have any questions? CONTACT US: skelly@proko.com

User Reviews
This is a fab app. Incredibly helpful and worth every penny. That said, I wish for the following: Undo last move button Rules of physics toggle (no skull in the pelvis sort of thing) Center Skelly with light or dark side up Articulated fingers/ hand only mode I truly do recommend this app for sure. My UI/X brain just never shuts off, and those are 4 things I didn’t have and needed within the first 10 minutes of using Skelly.
This is super helpful if you’re an artist and have a hard time finding the perfect reference photo. Though I do wish you could pose the jaw bone and the individual fingers on the model, that would make this perfect. Overall it’s worth it though!
For $7 I expected there to be more 30 poses. Also the hands and feet do not articulate correctly in these poses. This is a scam. Don’t waste your money
I use this almost everyday to practice drawing heads and skulls in any angle, and it’s a great tool for anatomy. Honestly I can’t say enough good things. Being able to change the light source and angle is a nice touch. It’s great if you are studying figure drawing as well this app has made my life soooo much easier and helped me a lot in my journey so far!:)
The accuracy of the model is great but functionality and ease of use is lost completely. With an app like MagicPoser out there I’m surprised this app isn’t super fun. So much is possible here, but I’m hoping with further updates I’ll be able to change my rating to a 5 star especially because I respect Proko so much. It would also be great to be able to move the digits of the fingers and toes.
Because it’s a Proko product this automatically gets 5/5.
The camera distortion is too severe. Needs more camera options including just 2d to show the skeleton flat with no perspective.
Every thing is great, I just wish you could open the jaw of the skeleton
This app has a nice balance of power and simplicity. Very handy for making anatomy references while drawing, animating, etc. One important feature which is missing is the ability to set a focal length for the “camera.” As is, the shots are rather “wide angle” which is fine for casual use but a definite drawback when used for a reference for an actual artwork in progress where you don’t want as much distortion in your reference. Eagerly anticipating an update which addresses this!
I think Skelly has an intuitive posing system, and this is something I really like about it. However, I wish a few basic things could be improved about Skelly. One of those things is that Skelly doesn’t have a female model. You only get a male model. Also, there’s certain joints of the skeleton that you cannot pose. You cannot pose the jaw of the skeleton. You also don’t have the option to pose the hands & feet. The inability to pose the jaw, hands & feet creates some limitations when it comes to the types of poses that are possible. Additionally, it’s not possible to export a pose as a PNG image with a transparent background. You have to take a screenshot if you want to export your pose as an image, which isn’t ideal.
