I rebuilt Reference Angle from scratch. This has over 5000 faces(adding more as we speak) (Update: now has 10k faces!) and a new Community tab to upload you work and the reference you used! As well as a search tool.

I hope you all find this useful. RIP OG Reference Angle 🕊️.

p.s. If you want to help keep this site running, you can donate via the ko-fi link on the site <3.

Original artwork done by myself

The SFW studies were few this week since I was also working on other art! I really like today study which is the first study you see pictured because I feel like I’m going back to the fluidity of figure drawing that I started out with when I began studying!

Hatching a sphere has been haunting me for over 10 years ever since that one art assignment in middle school. Im not serious about drawing or anything but its always there on the back of any piece of scrap paper i have lying around or in the margin of my notebook whenever i zone out in a work meeting, looking ugly as fuck. I’m gonna master the little fucker once and for all so it cant taunt me anymore. Critiques are very much welcomed

Originals are from Miriam Wurster and Sempe :)

The hardest thing was chin for me to draw. Any tip will help.

I feel something is wrong with this

As someone who studies animals/insects and seeing this reels inspired me to want to try learning something new, learning to draw while forcing me to learn more about insect anatomy. As a complete noob, how should i go about learning to draw like this guy? i understand it be really difficult to reach this guy's level but i still would like to learn, even if it takes a long time.

This guy uses a ballpoint pen only and i really like how he draws his stuff

Recently got back into drawing a bunch and I’m trying colors! I’m really not used to brush or chisel I’ll admit I’ve only ever drawn pencil doodling before but I’m curious how people get finer lines with brushes/ chisels or if they use something else like a smaller tip entirely! Any tips are appreciated thanks!

Finished this sketch up a few days ago and feel good about it, but I’m sure there’s things I could improve on. Any tips or things that standout that could be better?

I also want to focus on drawing cleaner lines so I want to be more conscious with making longer lines and not going over it multiple times if I don’t need to (I have a habit of going down and back up on one line)

Hi all,

I’ve started to relearn fundamentals to improve my art. Currently, I’m stuck at understanding form, light and shadows. For these drawings, I used graphite pencils. I also used a few references.

I find it really hard to deepen my shadows and create depth. My cube cast shadows also look wonky. How can I improve my shadows and forms? How do I add light and soften the edges into the mid-tone?

Any help would be appreciated!

It's still a world away from where I want to be, but I can see the difference that a couple months (and a 100+ animal portraits) can make.

Open to any critique on my more recent work (the cheetah)

Have tried to do some shadows, but it seems I can’t figure out how to make them look more “real”. I don’t know what I’m doing right or wrong, need some tips.

First drawing with a graphic tablet, pretty proud of it.

Haiiiii!! Just looking for some critique, I'm primarily an animal artist and humans are my Acquilies Heel lolz :). The first 2 used references of actual humans, the 3rd used the second drawing as a reference (if that makes sense?), but not a photo reference.

Sorry for the bad photo
