hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

[alexolotl-arts]

so my dnd character is slipping into madness but its fiiiiiine

image description below the cut

A digital sketch of a young woman done in blue ink. She is tall and athletic, with long hair sloppily pulled into a low ponytail, and a scar across the bridge of her nose. She has a wide jaw and pointed nose. The drawing is at a 3/4 angle. Her left hand is at her hip, and her right hand is at the hilt of a longsword, which is pointed into the ground. She wears a metal breastplate and gauntlets. She also has knee-high boots, and a sheer cape attached to her shoulder padding. Her upper right arm has a large dark smudge on the skin. She is looking at the viewer with a very unnerving smile.
