Thread: Photo refs needed

    Photo refs needed

    My mom and my aunt have been wanting to make crafts and sell them for a while now. They are really good at things they do, and I really believe they could sell.

    So the other day my mom was in this store talking to the owner for a while. Eventually my mom mentioned what she wanted to do....the lady said for my mom to get stuff together, and if they liked what they saw, they would sell it in her store. My mom told her about my drawings, and she said she would be interested in those too.

    So, I want to try and draw something I can see if she will accept...I HIGHLY doubt anyone would want to buy my stuff...I'm not that good yet, but I thought it would be good practice anyway. I need some sort of motivation to draw these days

    That leads me to the point of this thread...I don't really have anything to draw. I don't want to use something off the net, as it would be copyrighted to someone (like someone's photo). I originally wanted to draw a horse, but I don't own a horse...i would need a good headshot (and body shot?) of a horse...I might do a dog or a cat...I'm not sure yet...I may even do one of my own pets. However, if you feel like it, post some pictures and I might see something I would like to draw (certain pictures really capture my interest, which is why I find it hard to draw I guess) anyway, that is if you don't mind me drawing it and potentally selling it. I could put the name of the animal on it maybe, but I don't exactly know how I should go about it...like would I need the owners name on it??)

    Like I said though, I might just use my own...but I don't know yet...I also don't know that anyone would want me to draw their pet and try to sell it (not that that would happen...but atleast you could get a drawing done of your pet hahah....hopefully it might end up looking like your pet anyway o_O)

    Go to wetcanvas.com -- they have an awesome reference library. You'll get lost for hours in there searching for a reference pic.

    Hey - that looks like a really great site! I'm thinking about joining.

    I use alot of reference pictures, too. I use the Google image search & can usually find anything I need. If you're only using pictures for references, you aren't breaking any copyright laws so you don't have to get permission. If you want to use the actual images, that's another story. What do they plan to do for their crafts?
