Resources for artists

[mekare]

Hey fellow artists! The new fanart community drawesome has been really active since its inception in July and there are two posts that might be interesting for you guys too (disclaimer, yes I made those posts).

Posing references

This is a list of books, online articles, stock image sites and tutorials we compiled. I'd love more links though.

Storing art

This is a discussion I started today mainly because I don't feel I have a proper storage solution for my pastels yet.

I'd be delighted if some of you add your own resources or thoughts here in this post or over at drawesome. We artists should help each other out!

Thanks for the link! I'm an artist and this might encourage me to make some fanart now and then.

It's nice to hear the list is useful for others as well. By the way, drawesome is not only for fanart. There are a couple of members who only post original art and for others it depends on the challenge type. For the last one I painted a passion fruit :-) the only stipulation is that it must be drawn, rather than screencapped or manipped. (Is that a word? LOL)

ETA: I found the challenges really helpful to push my art into uncomfortable territory and to practise some new skills. And the encouragement you get from the members is fantastic!

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this - ref lists are always great, and the community looks awesome! (I say, as I subscribe. XD)

Great! I hoped someone would check drawesome out :-)
