I want to model a creature type head. Problem is I suck at drawing so I can’t make my own images. I just want some good front and side views of fantasy/creature heads to model in Maya then bring in Zbrush to add insane detail. Does anyone have a site like this? Or if anyone would be willing to give me some images they have drawn, that would be great! This isn’t anything commercial, it’s just for myself and to add to my portfolio.
I have but I can’t find any good front and side views to import and model from.
Go to a toy store with your digital camera!

Here is a link to an EXCELLENT site covering human anatomy.

I also cant draw worth a hoot. But at the same time having reference images/image planes/rotoscopes, whatever you want to call them is an INVALUABLE tool when modeling. Especially for a beginner. One thing I did was go to an art supply store and bought something called a “light box” It’s basically a backlit plastic box that you can lay down a picture or what not, cover it with tracing paper, light it up and just follow the outline shapes with a pencil. Use anything you want to trace from. Magazines, photos, whatever. When your done you can scan the traced image and bring it right in to your 3d app (look for the excellent zbrush plugin “reference image” here) And the best part is the light box is cheap, less than $25.
Unfortunately that site doesn’t have anything like creatures.
unfortunately that site doesn’t have stuff like creatures.
There is a link there for “anime model sheets” on the main page. There are some creature pics there.
