Sublink: Anatomy reference at the Art Morgue
Conceptart.org reference Threads
Conceptart.org the premier website for concept artists has a huge reference guide via it’s forums. This member contributed resource is massive and awesome. Covers anatomy, vehicles, character design and much more.
Human Anatomy Reference
Another great reference, though much of it is paid, commercial content. Still, if you don’t got the honey, there’s still the free samples pages you can mooch off of.
A resource primarily for human anatomy reference. Don’t miss the Andrew Loomis anatomy books.
A huge collection of human body reference shots. A lot of it is nude photography so if you’re in a public space put on a beret.
An unrealistic, but useful animation of a skeleton running. Useful to understand the structure of the human skeleton. The link leads directly to the mpeg file.
The Fantasy Art resource project at Elfwood has this useful hand reference guide. Loads of pictures of hands from various views. Especially useful because the hand is one of the toughest to draw from memory.
Life Drawing By Katherine Tyrrell
Katherine’s blog teaches life dfrawing sketches. A very useful resource, especially in learning to model the human body through speed sketching.
You could be forgiven for thinking this is a soft-porn site. Domai has been collecting pictures of beautiful women for years, and all of them with not a stitch of clothing to share. A great resource for learning to draw the female nude.
I originally found Domai on this conceptart.org thread which has some other great resources too.
