okay guys someone the other day asked for a bow tutorial so here it is! :> I hope it is helpful.

It’s not exactly the most precise archery information but I included what was relevant in terms of actually drawing—and remember as always, references are great in addition to looking through tutorials

am I even qualified enough to make a tutorial? oh well it was fun

Tumblr made them weeny but the magnifying glass will take you to full view

OR

As an ex-archer, I can confirm these are reliable notes!

Athletic Body Diversity Reference for Artists.

Athletic Body Diversity Reference for Artists.

The amazing Nina “Space Coyote” Matsumoto shares some photos of Olympic-caliber athletes and the diversity of their bodies, in hopes that her fellow artists will step up and stop using the same body types for their athletic characters.

My favorite picture is this one, which includes female weightlifters Tara Nott and Cheryl Haworth, who couldn’t look more different from each other, right next to one another.

IF YOU’RE AN ARTIST SHUT UP AND LOOK AT THIS AMAZING RESOURCE I FOUND.

It is literally a plethora of pictures of different body types for girls and you can search by a variety of different factors until you find your art subjects’ exact body type.

It is literally one of the single most helpful resources on body types I’ve ever found [although I’m disappointed males aren’t included as well] especially since A WHOLE LOT of my characters have body types that aren’t usually represented in body type charts.

Extraordinary photos of young hitchhikers and freight train hoppers by Mike Brodie

Mike Brodie (tumblr | facebook) first began photographing in 2004 when he was given a Polaroid camera. Working under the moniker, The Polaroid Kidd, Brodie spent the next four years circumambulating the U.S. amassing an archive of photographs that would go on to make up one of the few, true collections of American travel photography. Having never undergone any formal training, he chose to remained untethered to the pressures and expectations of the art market.
