Where to Find Resources
Suffice to say I'm pretty online, so I find a lot of this stuff sooner or later. I found a lot of things from a few different places:
- /ic/: It is a 4chan board, so it is 90% asbestos pit and 10% good stuff, but there are always threads like /artbook/ that compile a bunch of different resources. there used to be these huge folders of artbooks and reference photos, but i wasn't able to find any
- tumblr blogs: just go down a rabbit hole. most decent art blogs will have a page with their best links, or at least an efficient tagging system that branches out elsewhere
- neocities: there are some good link-hoarding sites but there can always be more
