Title: Reference request
Post by: Unknown Target on May 30, 2007, 10:37:58 am

Does anyone know where I could get ortho views of people? As in front/side views of both men and women? I want to learn organic modeling, but I want something more precise and accurate than drawing them myself.

Leonardo da Vinci...? ;7

Obtain some basic human anatomy book, if you want to learn organic modelling you practically need to start from skeleton (or stick figure will often also do if you don't want to go über-accurate), then add up muscles and tendons to that, and finally add skin, fingernails and eyes and other stuff on top of that... in your mind that is.

Can you draw a person?

Heres a page with some links, but not all its resources are free (not worksafe).

If you have a scanner then any art book with a guide for drawing people can be turned into a 3d resource. If Johnie's gallery don't have one of those then the store in peters rest or UVI should.

The cheaper alternative is to download lots of porn...

...I didn't say that >.>

My god you surprised me, I forgot you lived down here :p Where are you at, anyway?

Ahh...and thank you for the site, I'll be looking through it. I think I actually have the book where that specific image is taken from too (found it for free online somewhere).
