Reference Images - FAQ
What are reference images in art?
Reference images are curated photos or illustrations artists use to guide proportions, anatomy, lighting, and design. They help ensure accuracy and believability in drawing, sculpting, modeling, and texturing.
Why are references so important?
Even advanced artists rely on references - our memory alone can distort details. Using proper references makes characters, poses, and environments more realistic and speeds up iteration.
What subjects do you offer?
Anatomy studies, facial expressions, poses, architecture, lighting setups, animal references, and more.
How can I use references effectively?
Don’t just copy - study forms, angles, and lighting. Pair reference packs with Anatomy 3D Models or Character Tutorials to translate observation into strong artwork.
