Hello everyone.
I am currently working on lesson 4, and was wondering if it is ok to use crustaceans as references.
Hello everyone.
I am currently working on lesson 4, and was wondering if it is ok to use crustaceans as references.
While scoobyclub is right in general, in this case crustaceans are allowed for lesson 4, and you'll even find a couple demonstrations of them on the informal demos page.
They're what I'd recommend to anyone with arachnophobia.
Thank you for answering me. I wish I have seen it before finishing the lesson, because I would have enjoyed drawing crustaceans more :,) .
I would stick to insects and arachnids. That's what the lesson is about and I can't see a useful reason to ignore that.
Alright, Thank you.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
