Hi, I found some grim reapers on www.webshots.com, it's a free download for screensavers and photos of any kind, I already have it, and when i typed in grim reapers in the photo search, you get pages of them, some are personal pictures from people, but alot others are good for studying and u can right click on em and save in your pictures or as a screensaver. Another I found was on www.ebay.com and enter grim reaper, their was a sketch from some guy, anyways hope i helped, beats a trip to the bookstore searching for them.

The absolute best way to get better and there is no way around it.
Still life drawing.
That fact is the begining and ending to be all of everything that is art.
Never copy or reference someone elses art, life is the ultimate source. Nothing more clean or pure.

Start with a few drawings a week of simpel objects. Such as an fruit(totally corny) then broadening intrests will move you.

Art is so beautiful and to make it pure nothing else matters.
