Like the guy said, it's Aria Giovani. You can find it easily enough on pornhub. That was an idea I had, that I could you stills from softcore solo stuff but unfortunately they're way too low res.

>>3061797
personally I find low res references just fine

they feel less restrictive creatively, if that makes sense. it's the big picture I'm interested in rather than the details

See, this is the kind of thing I want to avoid.

Hmm. Take the pic in the OP. To paint the face, to get the detail necessary, I'd have to use my imagination & illustration skills (which are very lacking), no?

like said, personal preference

but I like working from blurry pics like these.

with more detailed photos I have to make the conscious effort to ignore all the tiny ass detail and focus on what's important. forest for the trees etc.

>>3061755
google "solo girls galleries". it's nude females just posing without sex.

>>3061865
why would anyone give a fuck what your weirdo ass is up too?

>>3061755
Am going to tell you something important OP.
If you want to learn to better draw and paint the human form, you're better off learning the anatomy. As in musculature and skeletal anatomy of the body. It will give you a better understanding of what you looking at.

P.S., using erotic themed nudes are extremely limiting.

Makes me long for the pre-HD age

Buy a printer or use a tablet if you are so worried about teenagers snickering to themselves when they see the photos you print out.

They've probably got all sorts of copyright on them.

Nice job.

This board has really gone downhill, how can you even pretend to think that is halfway decent?

>>3062229
He did it in like 5 minutes, dude.

>>3062231
1 hour technically

>>3062231
>>3062233

either way it looks like shit. 5 mins or an hour, neither would improve the end result with your level of knowledge atm.

>>3062233
Thanks for going to the trouble :) The "skull of andrew pearce" thread is me if you feel like tackling my problem there.

>>3062250

your proportions are off, you can't see that?

>>3062250
not sure what the problem is, the skull being smaller and off-center just makes the comp better imo

>>3062254
I can spot a few mistakes (like the back of the head), but I don't care if it isn't exact. I can always fix it later. I'm more concerned about the table it's resting on.

>>3062255
That was probably my thinking at the time (I started it ages ago but only recently tried to finish it) and that I'd be able to figure out later how to fill in what isn't in the reference. Now that I need to do it I'm a bit stuck.

>>3062269
I honestly don't feel like it needs anything to "fill" the space, you could probably just smoothen out some of the gradients and call it done.

I've ran into similar stumbles when trying to paint in trad, since you can't easily move elements around, a composition can end up looking very different from what you thought it was when starting the painting

I've come to the conclusion it's best to finalize the composition on paper or pc first before carefully copying it onto the canvas to avoid any surprises.

>>3062273
Thanks, Anon. I'll play around with it a bit more though. Not as forgiving as digital like you said but you can paint over mistakes at least.

I can take some photos for you...
