How are you guys doing. Well, I need some help...I can't afford to pay for school at the moment, and don't have the money to purchase any plaster casts bust but I was hoping anyone could provide me with some hi-res bust pictures? I've been wanting to do a cast drawing for a couple years now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hope some of these might assist...

Some may not be particularly "High res...", however...

You might also consider checking out or searching for Charles Bargue's (With collaboration by Jean-Léon Gérôme...) Drawing Course (Cours de Dessin..), you might find some scans of pages from the afforementioned book online...

Anywho, again, hope that might help...

Wow those are beautiful, especially that last one. I need as many as I can so I'm gonna keep looking for more, but I just saved all those.Thank you.

Yeah, while doing research of cast drawing, I've noticed that book come up very often. I was taking a look at the "Bargue Drawing" forum topic here on this site, very impressive stuff.
