Me again. There's some decent stock photos at Jademacalla's account, most notably the military/rappling pictures.

There are some awesome anime-style tutorials at Crysa's account.

Also some nice stock photos at auralis-stock.

There are some nice hairstyle/portrait photographs at [link]. They're not very big, but better than nothing and there's a lot of variety.

Hey, is there a "Recommended Books" section yet? Maybe books don't fit the focus of the Hospital, seeing as they cost money, but they can be sooo helpful. (And if you're lucky, the library may have them.)

I've been helped a lot by the following titles:

How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way by Stan Lee & John Buschema
-An oldie but goodie. Most artists will outgrow this book very quickly, but it can't be beat for explaining the basics. It's great for kids too. I've always been interested in drawing, but this book got me "going" so to speak. (Sorry; the link for this one didn't work)

Tadashi Ozawa's How to Draw Anime & Game Characters series, volumes 1-5
-Volume 1 is probably the most helpful, but they're all very nice books, and there is a lot of information and drawings packed into each volume. The tone of the series is encouraging, with a "you can do it" attitude. Unfortunately they can be hard to find.

The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression by Gary Faigin
-This one helped me draw convincing expressions. It goes into a lot of detail on bones and muscles, so it's rather heavy for new beginners, but if you can avoid getting bogged down in the details it's quite informative.

And for artists who need reference poses (I always need reference), I recommend People and Poses, by Buddy Scalera.
-It has a lot of good photos (of both male and female models) in various typical comic book poses -- fighting, standing, wounded, etc -- plus a CD with additional photos. No nudity -- tight shorts and (for the women) tank tops; while that's a drawback for learning anatomy, I appreciate not having to worry about leaving the book out where my brothers can see it.
