hi.

i know a lot of artist get thet ideas from something real and i want to be able to share that ablity since most of every thing i draw is from my head.

when i draw things from my head they look perfact in my head but when it comes out.......that another story.....proportions are all outa place and such....colors clash! and i just end up pissed. i went to a portfolio day aroud wher ei live and the thing i herd the most was i need to do more still lifes. i took that up. with the experience of drawing real things, whatever i dream up would come out much better. .........................ok ima get to the point. i would like to know if there are any sites that have pictures that i can just draw (mainly people) and there poses??

Well, the internet has no shortage of photos of people. If it's just for practice and study it would seem like there is a virtual unlimited resource. The ones made just for artists aren't necessarily better.

Go back to the main forum page, scroll down, and check out the sub-forum labeled "REFERENCE."

Don't just draw from photos though.
Try and draw from what's around you, both people and objects.
Anything will do really.
