Looking for black women reference

bugo · May 2010

Hey guys, went to 3d.sk, but there's only 2 women black bodies over there and it's not what I'm looking for, do you guys know where else I could find something like it?

edit: also, the 3d.sk website search is so terrible, I type woman and it gives me a lot of men on the search...

did u pay to use 3d.sk? I think if you pay, there are alot more available. I'm not entirely sure on this though, so I'd get more input first.

Other than 3d.sk, google images or Flikr I guess?

yes, i have an account, only 2 refs of black woman i could get, the search results are terrible, if anyone knows how to search on that thing

Not sure if they'd have any, but might as well check http://characterdesigns.com/

Thanks Xenobond, unfortunately they dont have any black woman.

Yea man its very hard to find good reference of black characters. I too looked all over 3dsk and google but good ref is hard to come by.

That might sound stupid and obvious ... but why not porn websites. Regardless of ethnicity or gender, chances are, the lighting/form reading will be much better than on the very flat 3d.sk white light photographs.
I mean yeah one could take it as a joke ... but when you think of it its not really that different from a life drawing class.

I totally misread the name of that site as black jack skanks.

I had a forum thread that I randomly stumbled across with about 100 pages of photos "African beauty". Let me see if I can dig it up again.

Here you go. A real variety of images from tribal ladies to airbrushed supermodels. Should make for a good reference starting point at least.

Wow, this is all just too funny. I can't believe I'm reading this, LOL. But as out there as this idea is, it does make a lot of sense. Screw environmental art, I'm becoming a character artist. :poly121:
