Three cheers for pinterest

[NicolaSchofield]

I've been trying to do this using my own photos and, while they're not brilliantly artistic shots, I'm surprised at how many of the lighting situations I can cover.

I don't think I want to put them on Pinterest as there are quite a few with friends' kids, etc. so currently figuring out the best way to organise on my PC.

However, I will share that I once managed to capture one of those spheres illustrators are always drawing, out in the wild:

Here's what I have so far - getting there a bit late

I'm going to just keep setting up sub-sections under the lighting category so this should grow in the next few days.

I'va also started to collect from my private photos ... Having the same problem as @neschof: Too many of my kids. Too many bums I'll sort those out and share the rest with you. And I'm getting distracted with those photos all the time. I havn't seen them for ages.

[Laurel Aylesworth]

I started a Pinterest board. Feel free to pin from my board:

@neschof The sphere... It haunts me...

[braden H]

REPIN PARTYYYYYYYY! Or something like that We'll all have awesome reference libraries from out collected research.

@Meta @neschof Feel free to share only if you're totally comfortable I totally understand not wanting personal photos on the interwebs

@Braden-Hallett

If you know doctor who with David tenant and Billie Piper in the episode called the Army of Ghosts check out the implications of that sphere haha!

[braden H]

If anyone hasn't been to this resource yet, it is friggin' amazing. I particularly like looking at the Laika movies (box trolls, coraline, etc) since they're physical models lit in real life (so staged, but still real light for the most part I think)

Yes, a big trip down memory lane!

[jdubz]

Added a ton of new images and also specifically a lot lot of shadow and reflected light on both men and women for reference.

@Braden-Hallett very cool resource. Wow

[braden H]

@xin-li I know, right!?

[carlianne]

Just wanted to say that I went ahead and ran through the pre-reqs that Will suggests and they were both awesome. Took about 1.5 hours each and was definitely worth it. I took color and value classes in school but it had been awhile, and some of the things they talked about I a fairly sure I never learned. I'm going to get started on this one now!

[BichonBistro]

@carlianne haven't had time to look at this yet--which courses did you run through first that Will recommended?

[peteolczyk]

I’d like to join in too if that’s ok. It looks like you’re all getting so much more out of it working together.

[braden H]

@peteolczyk and and all are welcome at all times Get that reference gathered! Next week we get to start some painting
