A fem figure dressed in floaty white layers and with one long braid of dark hair over their shoulder, standing on the edge of a pool against a wall, reaching up to the huge leaves of a plant growing overhead. They're standing in dappled sunlight.

The facade of a quaint little photoshop called fotographia, in a cobbled street at night. The wall of the building is yellow and the features are all painted bottle green. There are terracotta pots with pink flowers either side of the entrance, and lit displays with photographs in them on the walls.

A meadow of pink and white wildflowers in the foreground leads back to some hedgerows, and beyond, in the distance, a cityscape against a hazy sky.

A masc figure sits on a wooden chair in a field, in front of an easel, with a paint palette in their lap. They're wearing black with a black peaked cap. The sky behind them is pastel orange.

I need your help if you are:

#sapphic and have between 1 and ∞ sapphic partners or friends.

I need photo references of sapphic couples being cute, doing daily chores or having fun for my art, but the free stuff sucks because is mostly cisheterosexual couples or just plain lesbian porn.

What are you going to do with my pictures?

Just draw to be honest. Draw my #lesbian OCs or fanarts using you and your friends as reference.

Just started reading a book about how to draw Faeries

"Fantasy Artists Pocket Reference:
Phantastic Faeries. Draw, paint, and create magical faerie beings." Author: Bob Hobbes

First line after the copyright info reads:

"This book is dedicated to all those who believe in Faeries.
May the magic stay with you forever"

Yes,
Yes.
YES!

Heya artists and illustrators, what iOS/mac pose reference app or website do you recommend?

Ideally I would like diverse body types but I can settle for anything that allows easy anatomically accurate posing and i can add my own defining features

Two tall pastel pink and white-fronted houses, each four stories high, with two windows on each floor. The second story of both houses has a black and white striped canvas awning over a balcony with little wrought iron fences. Thre's a blue car parked outside the first house, and the second house as a pastel green front door, flowerpots on the downstairs windowsil, and bunting in the window.

An avenue of cherry blossom trees in full bloom over a walkway lined with a wood and rope fence. There's a fem figure walking away from the camera, long brown hair, brown handbag, and holding a long pink skirt out in one hand to the side.

Cherry blossom trees flowering in pale white-pink over a street lined with a metal fence. There's a pink bicycle with a brown seat and white basket standing against the fence next to the gnarled trunk of one of the trees.

Front-on view of a shop. The building wall is grey brick, contrasted by the warm dark wooden doors and windows of the shop front . There's Chinese writing in black on a beige sign at the top, and another sign with Chinese writing in black on a brown wooden sign beneath. There are red and white signs stuck to the glass on the doors and windows, a miscellany of objects like stone carved statues on the pavement outside, and a scooter with a long cargo bed and black basket on the right.

A snowy scene of trees lined up along an avenue, with a bench to the side. The whole ground, the tree branches and even parts of the trunks are covered with snow, with only some dark vertical lines from the trunks and bench visible.

A Black fem in an ornate golden-yellow gown and long gloves, with yellow fabric blowing all around her, against a dark background.

Two people in white standing in a little boat on still waters, with misty trees in the background and a bank of long grass in the foreground

A blue house nestled in between two other buildings, with a terracotta tiled roof, white-panelled wood windows, and red flower bushes growing outside.

A person in a long black coat, wooly hat, and boots standing on a pavement outside a big glass bookstore window. The window is framed in a red wooden front with gold lettering on top reading 'Librairie Didier', and above the sign, there's a stretch of green pine branches and red and gold decorations.

A man in white t-shirt, navy shorts, and white trainers, mid-sprint across a concrete surface. His muscles are tense and it's a very athletic pose.

A soft black and white photo of a person with a bare chest and flowing white net ruffles from the waist down, stretching backwards with arms up, looking down to the side. They're wearing heavy ornamental jewelry around their forehead and neck.

A man sitting at the bottom of a thick tree trunk in a field, an open book resting against his raised leg. The pages of the book emit a soft glow that lights the man's face against the dark twilight scene.

A wite cat, with some black patches, sitting in grass next to some lichen-speckled stones. Its head is turned back, one ear flicking backwards, looking over its shoulder.

Looking down over myriad scattered rooftops in a chaotic assembly of beige-walled grey-roofed buildings with an occasional little smatter of green from a tree.

A fem in a long floaty pinkish-cream dress dancing, arms held upwards mid-movement as the tress billows up around them to look like wings

A dirt path leading along the edge of a mountain to further snowy peaks in the distance. There's a little building crossing the path, with white-painted walls and a red roof.

A pale-toned photograph of a rocky mountain and the yellow grassy hills leading up to it, a little mist at its top, against a pale blue sky with whispy clouds. Ther are two telegraph poles in the foreground.

Rows of silver birch tree trunks receding into the mist, with brown-red ferns and grassy scrub in the foreground.

Three fems in long, flowing white and peach silky dresses, grouped together with their arms and heads touching, standing in an open grassy space with some trees behind.

A person riding a bicycle away from the camera down a narrow alley, with red-bricked walls on either side and pastel-toned buildings in the distance. Bushes and trees encroach onto the alley over the walls.

@rodbotic @loren ooh this seems like a great thing to start a hashtag about. Could even use for individual images to help people find things? maybe #ArtReference ? (maybe such a thing already exists)

A black woman in brown lacy underwear wrapped with cream ribbons and adorned with pastel flowers. She's stretched out, lifting herself up on one arm and one leg, the other arm stretched up over her head, fingers reaching upwards. She's looking straight at the camera, evocatively. She's posed against a white brick wall on a white floor.

Two men riding elephants. The elephants have colourful patterns painted onto their trunks and ears, and are draped with red, blue, and gold cloths. The men wear white shirts and red hats. A wall of sandstone arched shapes lines the roadside, and in the distance, a towering city wall stretches away against a grey sky, with rows of windows at the top and domed roofs just visible through the grey.

A still life against a dark wooden surface of a small round carved wooden bowl and lid, a dark orange glazed tall narrow vase, and a similarly glazed tall orange jug with a ridged lip. There are orange flowers with green spiky leaves in the jug.

View through rocks and overhanging vines to a wooden building with glass windows and a tiled roof covered in moss. There's a balcony just visible on the far side, with an ornate wooden fence.

A green building fills the frame, with white wood-panelled windows. Letters across the top painted in green read 'King's Arms'. Further down at street level there's an open doorway, a bigger panelled window showing warm lighting inside, some tables and chairs out the front, and white painted text on the wall above the window reading 'Coffee House & Tea Salon, Pure Veggie Food'.

A stand of silver birch trees, repeating back in striated rows against a grey-blue sky.

Two black models posing for the camera. One has long hair tied up in loose buns then cascading down their back; they're wearing suede ankle boots and a kind of leotard made from beads. They're leaning into and partly embracing the other, who has short cropped hair and is wearing a bikini and short skirt in an open weave with tassles, and pink stilettos with ankle straps. The second figure is crouching down a little, arms loosely on the other's hips. The first is looking down at the second's face intently, while the second's face is turned away.

Two people playing table tennis on the banks of a calm, wide river. There are trees behind them, letting dappled warm sunlight through their branches that picks up the dust from the gravel.

Looking across a balcony in a stairwell between buildings, with walls close on the left and right with shuttered windows, and on the other side, another stairwell where someone crouches over a pan, visible through the banister. There are potted plants on the edges of the walkways betwen the stairs on the way down.

A fem with long slicked back blonde hair, pearly low cut sweater and black short skirt and boots, crouched down on a wooden surface. The shot is lit in pink and green.

A highland cow - a big shaggy ginger cow with massive horns pointing outwards - standing in long grass against a misty rocky background.

A calm stretch of water spanning a valley between rocky grassy mountains, reflecting a blue cloudy sky.

This is probably a very well-known watercolor resource, but since I'm new to this medium, I thought I'd share in case anyone else was in my shoes.

In fact, this is so good it makes me want to create an archive version on my computer that's searchable, etc.

Thinking I'll make a thread of some of the various 2D-animation model sheets I've collected over the years.

Most of these will be Disney, and the vast majority will have been sourced by Michael Sporn's Animation Splog (RIP: https://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/ ), which has such an amazing wealth of information and experience in it. <3

I won't be commenting much on these, just sharing for anyone interested in them. I found studying these to be extremely helpful and inspiring with my comics and illustration work. :)

If you have some to share, feel free to add them to the thread! The rest of the posts after this one will be unlisted.

First up: Some Rats of NIMH (1982, d. by Don Bluth).
