I haven't done a reference dump in a looooooong time so here we go :D

EDIT: Man this took me forever to try and post on here. Damn captcha thing :o

EDIT by Charlotte Ahlgren
Since I included pretty much everything from here into the above post including the headers, I also delete them from here. Not much point with long duplicate posts. Hope that's OK. I'll leave the links I didn't include above.


Links not moved to first post:
mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/ - contains nudity (I assume) and requires a deviantart account to see
senshistock.deviantart.com/ - same as above
Comments on Posemaniacs hands viewer: it did NOT show me a hand... Hmph. I moved it to anatomy.

Animals/Creature Refs <-- this heading went poof after I moved two links to other categories.
www.creaturespot.com/ - inspirational blog with loads of links to artists work and website but I found it hard to search for anything particular... just browse it!
Science Collection of Animal Anatomy <-- I included the website under the "everything" headline, but this is the original link

Hope these links can help some people out :)

Got a bit sidetracked for a while, reading some stuff on that blog (it's always good it's just been long since I visited!) but it's added now. :)

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with Chris Wahl's art work, but he has a blog with a ton of resources (brushes, painting tutorials, WIPs, etc.). It's pretty well put together and updated fairly often (I usually check in once or twice a month to see what's new). His art style is more graphic novel comic book, but if you like that style as I do, you may like some of the resources ( I use his Photoshop brushes on just about everything I do).

I thought I'd share another one of my go-to links. This is a collection of digital art tutorials from cubebrush on You Tube. There are a lot of tutorials covering basics (How to draw eyes, How to paint folds, etc.) that you may find useful no matter how well you think you can do these things already. There are also a few tutorials on color theory. I go back to these from time to time to refresh my memory. If any of you are into sculpting, there are also some tutorials on ZBrush as well.

To try to describe the contents of these links would not do them justice. My initial reaction when I found all this was (pardon my edited language) "F**k me, that's what I call a resource!"

It is a massive collection of free video art tutorials (most in HD quality) on just about everything you can imagine. Don't know if all the videos on the main site and the Youtube channel are repeated, but I was just overwhelmed by the sheer volume, quality and availability. If you have some time and a specific interest, you can probably find some tutorial walk-through here that can help you. I took a quick look at the tutorials and resource sections on CGAN and did not see links to these so I'm posting them (sorry if they are already posted and I just missed it--not trying to spam). If these links are already here then please delete this post.

Yep, I believe it was the first link I posted in the video thread: cgartnexus.com/index.php/forums/tutorial...channels-of-interest, but I'll leave your post there.
