For artists/animators:
Poses:
If you're an artist and ever need some help with poses, here are some resources (just a heads up some reference images used in some of these sites might have people that aren't fully clothed but there might be an option to have only clothed people).
JustSketch.Me - you can pose the female/male model. There are poses and models that are locked that requires you to pay but I haven't spent any money to unlock it.
Taco1704 (look them up on Google)
References or need inspiration?:
Living Lines Library - I was introduced to this site in High School or during the summer (forgot what year). I took an art and animation class during my Senior year (DigiPen).
Animation Production Art - Archive.org - you can also look up "Animation production art" or "[insert show name] production art" on Google.
YouTube Channels:
How to BAM - he hasn't posted in a while, but I like his content
Sabrina Kaufmann - From Art to Business (note: her videos are in French. Some may have English subtitles and some are entirely in English; see some of her playlists)
matttt - this guy is underrated. He mostly talks about comics and puts so much effort in his videos. I highly suggest you check him out; maybe you can get a bit of inspiration from his videos. His "Marvel rejected this couple video" is my favorite of his; it talks about the comic book series ElfQuest.
I also added resources in these posts:
Artists that I'm Inspired By Part 1
Artists that I'm Inspired By Part 4
Books
Note: Similar to the poses, some books may contain non-fully clothed people.
How to Draw Manga - Archive.org - although this book series is old, it's still worth reading.
I recommend:
- More How To Draw Manga Vol. 1 The Basics Of Character Drawing
- More How To Draw Manga Vol. 2 Penning Characters
- Sketching Manga Style Vol. 2 Logical Proportions
- HDM Vol. 29 Putting Things In Perspective
- HDM Vol. 10 Getting Started
- HDM Vol. 23 Illustrating Battles
- HDM Vol. 3 Compiling Application And Practice
- HDM Vol. 25 Bodies & Anatomy - this book is in another language sadly, but if I find an English language version, I'll update the link (it most likely won't come from archive.org)!
HETAPPI Manga Laboratory - Akira Toriyama - note: book is in a different language!
Manga: Artbooks and Art Collections
The Animator's Survival Kit | Amazon
Websites/Blogs
Animator's Resource Kit - this site hasn't updated, but they have some good resources included.
Evan Waterman - How to Make a Comic
Documentaries
For voice actors or actors:
Videos:
Websites/Blogs
I Want To Be A Voice Actor - Dee Bradley Baker's "All To Know About Going Pro in V.O."
Documentaries
Misc.
None.
Misc.
Archipel - I first discovered these guys through their "Shaman King" video and forgot about them until a video they did got recommended to me. They do Japanese documentaries; their content is interesting. They also have a Patreon, if you want to support them.
RndStranger - He's known for his Famidaily series. His videos give me nostalgia; reminds me of another old YouTube channel that I watched called Classic Game room. I suggest checking him out as he's underrated.
Music
lofi.cafe - Listen to Lo-fi music!
