The pencil stalks at midnight. Makes it hard to sleep. Drawing under moonlight. Where the nightmares creep. Weird, macabre, and sensual arts. Occasional silly thoughts and bad puns.

Questions for artists. How do you find and choose reference? Do you look for specific themes, follow,specific creators? Do you prefer a separation between regular nude art reference vs erotic reference? Do you rely heavily on reference or just search it out when you struggle with a specific feature?

While praise is well-deserved for Sam Neill's roles in Possession, In the Mouth of Madness, and Event Horizon, I want to acknowledge one I don't see talked about nearly as much: the diabolically suave Damien Thorn in Omen III: The Final Conflict.

1. Portrait study WIP, testing out Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils~ I've noticed that it layers up in a more waxy kind of way, similarly to colored pencils. For that reason, these don't blend so well with other graphite pencils. Something to consider if you like mixing brands. More ⬇️
