Reference Pictures You've Used For Your Art.

[Brianhjh]

We all use it, right? I use it for mainly inspiration rather than poses though. and it helps alot. Strolling around someone's gallery usually helps alleviate my artist's block. take a look at this picture here, it made me want to do a picture in smililar style... so, Do you artists have pictures that you used for reference? if then, post them here!

I use so many pictures as references, it's rediculous. I use a lot of anime style and realism, too. It all depends. Normally, I pull them off of Google or Altavista. Sometimes from a magazine.

I have a reference folder which currently holds 3,347 images.

wow, everyone seems to have their "own" techniques ^^ i've never really.. used other artists' pictures as refferences, cept for hands, i use my own for hand refferences ^_^ .

i usually use reference pictures for hand, leg, and foot positions, because those are my weakest points when it comes to drawing . sometimes i use references for costumes, but not often .

I know I've said this before, and it might be getting a little old, but no one seems to catch onto it. I use comic books, and Wizard Posters 2000-2005 for inspiration. Lots of action poses, still poses and different artists help a lot. And they're cheap.

I find it much easier when my reference pictures are drawn pictures rather than photographs. It's so much easier when someone has gone ahead and simplified something to a drawable state, rather than trying to do that simplification myself from a photo.

I get my action poses from shounen manga. ^_^

I usually spend a while looking for refrencesm then find nothing like what i want
and then just make soemthing up
Although, I do watch how things move in real life to rememeber for drawings - so i guess real life is my refrence ?
