REFERENCE

As I finish up the painting I thought I would post the reference I used for the drawing, and now the painting.
These images are from a huge reference file that I have been adding to for years. I've divided it up into subjects such as children, animals,couples etc... It's a great help and I can usually find whatever I need.
The picture of the boy with his hand to his chin is my nephew Cody. The picture is from a series I took years ago for another project. He's a great model and I use many of these over and over again.
