I've probably spent more time collecting this shit than actually drawing.

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: i literally just choose a site and sniff around for a 'resources' tab
