While searching for barbarian reference images today I cam across a really great stock photography resource on DeviantArt. The photos are free as long as you follow the few rules on the right hand side, which for the most part boil down to give credit where credit is due.

Enjoy!
Tonight I did some male figure studies.
Some day I will look back on my art and realize how little I knew. Some days are today.
I really need to brush up on anatomy.
Tonight’s study is natural environments, so I chose to grab some references from Big Sur.
Starting today I am attempting to adhere to Sketcule, a rotation of artistic exercises created by Michael Bierek. It was suggested to me by my friend Brian Bowes after he found it on TheArtOrder’s blog.
If you are an artist in need of a set of exercises to help you achieve your goals, I suggest checking it out and possibly swapping out some of the subjects to meet your goals or weaknesses.
We will find out if it helps with any of mine in the coming months!
