Does anyone have good pose references for cane-users?
Trying to draw a character that uses a cane; character doesn't require mobility aids constantly, so they would technically be capable of holding a cane in not-strictly-functional ways, but for the sake of a more thorough understanding of the anatomy and physics at play, does anyone have pose images that feel accurate?
Basically, the web is full of cane pictures, but I do not currently have the knowledge to go through the pictures and say "this one is accurate to a mobility aid, this one is a fashion-cane." I've been getting stronger with my contrapposto pose sketches lately, which I'm glad for, but I imagine a relaxed stance involving a cane could look somewhat different in ways I can't yet clock on my own.
So in summary, does anyone have pictures from online that they can OK? Pictures of yourselves that you'd be okay with others referencing? Websites I can look to, specific models to research?
Thanks! Worst case, I can always get some practice with seated positions.
(Also, if anyone has preferences in shapes of cane handles they'd like to share, feel free to talk about those as well. My sister has a few that she let me borrow while figuring out the movement pattern, so I think I know which handle I'd prefer, but I'm sure there's a vast difference between my initial preferences and the preferences of people who actually own and use the equipment on a frequent basis.)
