Hiya! I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some web sites that have been useful to you which have good quality images to draw from. I find it so hard to locate web sites that have images of decent quality, and I'd appreciate it if anyone could help out.
I already know of Shane Glines' Drawing Board forum with the Drawing Jam section, and I know of a few other web sites with good photos like Absolute Idols, and a very cool web site to help with fashion, Fashion TV with a live video stream, but any additional web site that you could locate me to would help out. ^^
So, thank you! ^^ |

Yes, it's a planetquake site, but it's got quite a lot of stuff on it, including the loomis book.
Hope this helps in any way. _________________ Just remember, when in doubt, even monkeys fall from trees sometimes. |

Cool, thanks guys. ^_^
I wish I could get more references from life though...it's hard for me to do since I never go outside.

There are a set of CD's for $10 a piece called "Visual Reference for Comic Artists" So far there is volume 1 and 2. Each one has 500-600 images of people, buiildings, weapons etc. Very worth the money. Go to www.buddyscalera.com |

If you are looking for low res specifics for ideas, textures, inspiration, or object shapes then go to the Google Image search as somebody already mentioned.
I have a few large photos on my website that might make for some good practice. Worth a look even if you don't find exactly what you are looking for. _________________ http://prettydiff.com/ |
