Art and Design Resources

[bgates87]

Some people have asked me about how I do up my art - specifically the stages and processes involved. And while I've done up tutorials in the past, they now seem a bit dated compared with my current technique.

So, I created This Tutorial of 8 easy steps to help people better understand how to create character art in Photoshop.

I hope you all dig it.

That was a really interesting tutorial. What I need is a tutorial for all the stuff that happens before step 1, I'm terrible at drawing poses and the human form in general. I can do pretty good with pose references but I'd like to be able to just put poses directly from my mind onto paper.

This thread is in dire need of a bump. Those first 2 stock image websites are invaluable.

Wonderful body references, everything from spies to gothic outfits. http://charligal-stock.deviantart.com/
Great female references, good for action and weapons . http://imperialstarletstock.deviantart.com/
