Silly reference photos for ALLby *shoomlah

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Other

Do you take embarrassing photos of yourself as reference for character poses/expressions? Well, I know I sure as hell do, so in light of

's fantasticpiece about the importance of dynamic expressions in art [link] , I'm posting a video of my stupidly embarrassing reference photos for you to peruse:

Video! [link] Video!

It's very silly-looking, but we should all be doing it.

Haha, I do that for MOST of my art. I always have to be careful to delete them afterwards lest I embarrass myself haha.

I do that...except when I have roommates around to do it for me! XD

~Konayashi Jan 19, 2011

Haha, thanks for the great link (and from that, more great links! Hooray!) and for being willing to show off all those silly poses. I am no stranger to that technique, myself, but probably wouldn't be brave enough to post them for all to see.

That's hilarious my phone has tons of references of my hand or face doing an expression.

LMAO this is amazing, yes, I have a number of photo booth pics up with me in various poses.

~bardling Jan 19, 2011

I totally take embarrassing photos of myself for references, too! I propose that this become a meme.

~racehell Jan 19, 2011

LMAO my photobooth is full of embarassing pics like this. Mostly odd angles of my hand.
