I am making a 3d character out of myself but what if I wanted to move the arms around and twist and rotate all the body parts so that I can view different poses as a drawing reference?

For posing characters you can use another apps like “Pose it”. I mean… it’s possible in Nomad but it’s easier in apps like that specifically for posing.

You have to split the objects, then you can move e.g. the arms individually.

You don’t really need to split. You can mask and change the pivot position of the gizmo to the specific joint(or anywhere else) then turn around as you like.

You can watch this tutorial [Sculpting dinosaurs on your iPad using Nomad – FREE chapter from NEW course - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8q_hmiu2N50) (from 04:30) it would help to teach you how to pose.
