• http://www.drawing-tutorials-online.com/
• Anatomy issues of ImagineFX's Anatomy issues i own the old Vol 1&2, but i think this one is a compilation of both. http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/anatomy-essentials/
• Any Kevin Chen demos like http://www.angelfire.com/art3/kchendemos/ or an other blog i cannot find anymore, buried in my favourite list i think ! :3
• Conté Animated by Ryan Woodward http://conteanimated.com/the-book/
• The classic and great Mike Mattesi's Force http://www.amazon.com/Force-Dynamic-Life-Drawing-Animators/dp/0240808452/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1364143314&sr=8-3
• Anatomy for the artist http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Artist-Sarah-Simblet/dp/078948045X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364144117&sr=8-1

but when i draw from photos, it's from photos picked on the web, if that was the true question ..
Mainly it's from http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/ and http://lovecastle.org/draw/ (damned it seems to be temporally broken :/ i hope..)

Must do more of them myself *writes in notebook* And man, the self portrait is gorgeous! I think for that kind of drawing, you have to use minimal white, good job (again). As for values. Try to paint a new self portrait and just block in with big brush in grayscale (think like a sculptor!). Don't want to seem too smart cos I'm not (laughs) just trying give you some ideas. Last but not least the bloodsports 13 one...Fantastic! The designs, the exploration with colors, composition. Everything is just great. I'd love to be able to make something like that. I'd suggest you do more anatomy studies though, for I think that's your weakest point. But! You're just so much more skilled then myself. I'll just simply stop being a smart ass and go drool over your work every time I stop by. And I will stop by again! Amazing!
