LIFE DRAWING REFERENCE LINKS

While drawing from life is considered the ideal way to improve your skills, what if you don’t have the opportunity? Or, maybe you want to get a little more practice in between such sessions? The internet is a fine thing, and it’s not hard to find good drawing references nowadays. Here are a few popular figure drawing reference links that every artist should check out!

Posemanics.com : Possibly the most popular pose website there is, they offer a multitude of ‘skinless’ poses so you can get a good handle on the body’s musculature. Features include timed poses (good for gesture practice), negative space drawing, and even an app for your phone!

Artists.pixelovely.com : another popular site with timed poses, they offer a variety of photographical references ranging from full figures, faces, hands & feet, and even animals. They also have a blog with useful art tips.

Quickposes.com : Another slideshow-esque site similar to pixelovely, including a ‘Challenges’ feature where you are able to upload your own images.

Reference! Reference! : specifically for animation, here you can find short clips of common movements and actions.

Human Anatomy for Artist : HD resolution human photos, including stereoscopic 3D references. While there is a paid membership option, quite a few quality images viewable for free. It has a noteworthy search tool, where you can pick even the hair color of the model you’re looking for!

Anatomy4Sculptors.com : Not just for sculptors! This website has loads of anatomical references in the form of muscles & bones, block-outs and plain photos. There’s also a lot of art tips throughout the website that are extremely insightful!

3D Pose tool for Mobile : Available to both Mac and Android users, this nifty little app allows you to generate and pose a 3D model however you like. Also available: Horse Pose Tool, and Manga Pose Tool. Note: It was rated as one of the “Top 10 Must-Have Art Apps” in issue #92 of ImagineFX!

Atarichan Drawer : an interesting website where a stick figure with key joints is generated for you.

Tumblr : tumblr has a plethora of resources, but here are a few to start you off:

- Portraitsfordrawing - Figuresfordrawing - Everyday-art-practice

Pinterest : same story as tumblr, here are a few goodies!

- Theluuvre’s Figure Drawing Reference board - Angua80’s Expressions & Poses boards

DeviantART : many stock photo professionals have set up shop here. Here are a few popular names:

- SenshiStock - Mjranum Stock - DAposes (group) - Pose-emporium (group)

child handling for the childless nurse

My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old.  Here’s my impressions so far:

Birth - 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal.  Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.

Age 1 - 2: Hates you.  Hates you so much.  You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them.  There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.

Age 3 - 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe.  Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them.  Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.

Age 6 - 10: Really cool, actually.  I did not realize kids were this cool.  Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn.  Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”

Age 11 - 14: Extremely variable.  Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other.  At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult.  Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers.  (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)

Age 15 - 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience.  Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care.  Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there.  At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny.  And they’ll want one.  Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.

This is also a pretty excellent guide to writing  kids of various ages
