Reference thread

thanks for the reference. Will be uploading some sets tonight to icreference.tumblr.com, and will contribute with some stuff here as well.

Thanks guys I was hoping to find some foreshortened limbs references.

And I scroll through the thread, all I can think is how awesome it would be if we could take these copyrighted images and make our own pirate gesture drawing site. I'm tired of drawing all the stock images on the main 3 gesture drawing pages.

does anyone have a link to he original book scans?

lost it after my computer overheated last summer.

This thread is magical.
But does anyone know the button combo to save an image without opening the rightclick menu?

>>1899375
Isn't there an compilation that we can download?

you have such a limited range that you cannot/will not draw faces you consider ugly? having a diverse drawing repertoire is important.

I made an executable Python 4chan image downloader if someone wants to download all images in a thread in a single click. You can find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7s5det484e3i2fi/fdl.exe

I can also post source code if you're a little bitch.

usage: fdl.exe [-h] [-o] [-u] [-d]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o, --output show downloaded files
-u, --update update all archived threads
-d, --default use default windows directory

Is that an an albino nigress? Damn she's ugly.

>>1899965
excuse me, it's IMPORTANT to have a LARGE DRAWING REPERTOIRE. if you don't draw ugly people you'll NEVER make it as an artist.

Nobody gives a fuck about your opinions
Contribute or GTFO

I am not even going to lie...some of these look suspect...

Where can I get more like this one?
Looks like a pretty useful book.

>>1899814
Wtf, that neck

>>1899385
His calves seriously freak me out, like wtf why are they so oddly bulbous.

>>1900130
He's on his toes, so the muscle is fully contracted. Same way when people show off their biceps they bend their arm to make the muscle bulge out (as opposed to having your arm straight out and your biceps long and stretched), except it's the opposite action because the calf is an extensor and the bicep is a flexor.

worst ref thread i've seen on /ic/ ever. half of this porn and useless as reference.

Thanks for the contribution. These are nice.

last one.

Nice, thanks for the interesting ones.

>>1900218
No prob

>>1900119
it looks unreal but since the length of the spine doesn't change, that would be low shoulders, not a long neck per se. You know Those people who put lots of rings around their neck push their clavicles down, they get long necks because they push everything down, they don't make their neck longer.

Adverts are terrible studies. Filled with unnatural lighting and photoshopped to no end

>>1899899
fucking hell
the guy in the ape suit is literally the first thing I noticed about the image

also, this:

>the guy in the ape suit is literally the first thing I noticed about the image
Probably because of the placement of it when you click on the thumbnail to expand the image.

>>1900249
>Adverts are terrible studies. Filled with unnatural lighting and photoshopped to no end
As long as you are aware of this I don't see why it's a bad thing. They do that to make it look good. So if you study that you can make your paintings also look good. Same way when you do a mastercopy, you see the changes they made to improve it.

>>1900249
Not great for studies sure, but it's still usable as reference. Really almost anything can be reference as long as you know how to use it.

>>1900193
Well unless you're drawing something pornographic. Porn also works with interesting angles, which I find great for learning about foreshortening. Not every reference needs to be a full length view of an artistically posed girl.

>>1899447
what's the point of those extremely muscular guys?

unless you are drawing superhero comics you wont be drawing anyone who looks anything like that

Muscle studies? Drawing superheroes? Drawing body builders?

If I posted a picture of someone with dwarfism, sure you probably won't be regularly drawing that but it's fun to learn and draw people with different anatomies than what might be the norm.

Reference is reference, if I want to learn how to draw large, purposefully, and painfully obviously fake tits, old people, people with bad teeth, or dudes with sculpted abs than so be it.

>>1900611
it was more meant as a comment along the lines of "i rarely see normal proportioned people as references".

>>1900612
i'd appreciate it

oops image limit reached

>>1899375
Can we have a reference thread that ISN'T softcore porn? Come on, guys, I love seeing naked women and men as much as the next guy, but really.

And don't do the whole "they're just artfully done nudes, don't be a perv."

Then explain:

I mean, really.

>>1900621
Most of these are simple nude photos in my opinion, I wouldn't call them artistic but they're good enough if you need a specific ref. I would only consider 4~5 of of these as porn, especially this shit >>1899734 which has no actual merit unless you want to jerk off.

Why do people complain about reference so much? Reference is reference, not every photo will be tailored to your current needs but someone out there may find it useful for their particular project. If you have a specific subject matter you want, why not request it? This is a general reference thread, whatever people feel like posting is what you get.

>>1900621
Your muhsoogyknee tears are delicious

>>1900712
Oh, no, I'm not a SJW. Far from it, in fact. I just hate it when reference threads are mostly just sexy naked women, most of them in pornographic/provocative poses. There is a time and place for pursuing your sexual interests.

If the image limit hadn't peaked, I'd have posted some original photographs I took of my neighborhood freshly covered in snow.

>>1900718
oh I see.
but its a shame that naked women get you more views and gets you more attention huh?

[I was attempting satire.]

>>1899712
>drawing paraplegic girls running
why do I feel bad

>>1900611
just post it and stop preaching

>>1900621
eh just ignore it. You can tell it's some newbie that doesn't understand what to look for in a reference picture.

are we gonna make a new ref thread now that the image limit has been reached?
