Does anyone know where I can find some good sites that have plenty of pictures more focused on facial features?

I'm mainly looking for noses and eyes. I would just use photos, but I want to see the nose/eyes at various angles.

Any help appreciated.

Ick. Take it as a no...


Could someone at least point me in the direction of someone's CA sketchbook. Person who does a lot of varied portraits?

I find for face references using magazines with a lot of closeups on the human face are very usefull.

Also, get yourself a mirror and put it next to your drawing board. :)

Already have a mirror right in front of my face at the drawing board. I use it for self portraits, but I know I just have one combination of features. I don't want to get stuck drawing everyone's eyes and nose like mine.

SmugMug is a pay site and I'd need it longer than the free trial time, heh. Thanks anyway

I'll go through some magazines, but they aren't the best place to go for features. And Loomis is more about proportions than characterization I think... Have to check out his cartoony one I suppose
