Ah, it is not that the idea of the pose is subject to copyright, but the specific placement of the lines in the drawing matching the borders of the figure in the photograph.

Example:

This drawing and this photograph both feature someone sitting in the same pose. However, they are not plagarised, because the drawing and the photograph are different, although the pose is the same.

Here is an example that would be plagarism. I hope you can see how these two images are much more similar than the previous two, and why this is an issue for artists.
