Directory
Reference
Boards, poses, and places to look — photographs and models you draw from, not pictures that draw for you.
Build a pose reference board
Collect photographs you can draw from, and keep them on a local board instead of a social feed.
Check whether a reference is yours to use
Find the picture's source and read the license. Do not ask a chatbot to rule on it.
Draw an expression sheet from a mirror
Get a list of faces to practice, then draw each one from your own face.
Photograph a pose list you wrote
Ask for a shot list, then take the pictures yourself so the reference is yours.
Plan the views before a venue or a street
Walk a place on a map, list the angles, then draw from what you shoot or from what you are allowed to keep.
Set a 3D pose instead of tracing a mannequin
Turn a figure until the angle is right, then draw. The mannequin is not the finished person.
Study public-domain pictures, not a living style
Copy from work that is actually in the public domain, and let a chatbot quiz your eyes.
