Someone find a ref on the net, post the link, the participants agree on which one, and everyone (well, whomever feels like it) does their version of it. I think it would be interesting/fun to see how all the different styles come out. No right or wrong, no good or bad, just see how everyone else sees. Maybe put "group ref" in the title or some such identifier.

that sounds like a neat idea. Of course, I don't think everybody wants to draw an anime picture I post ~_~ Bwahaha XD

I think it's an AWESOME idea. It'd be very interesting to see how each artist draws the same subject. I'd participate.

great idea..im game

:-) Someone had that idea once. I think it's a good one. You can count me in.

Cool, so now we need a ref. Shall we all go out and find one and argue about wich one to use or pic one person to find the ref?

I say we argue about whether one person or everyone finds a ref. Actually I'm going to try fo find something myself and post it. I think we should be able to choose from several images.

ok cool. I'll goo look too.

here's something interesting to draw: www.gbpflag.org/advocacy/pridemarches/Boston-Pride-2000/_photos/Colorful%20loading%20crew%20member.jpg

Hah. I want to try this too. I love that reference thug.

Lmfao @ Thug.. hehe, this sounds like fun!

pahaha. i wish i could be that cool when im old.

haha.. this sounds like a really fun idea :D. ill give it a shot, what the hell.. so is that the ref that peeps are using? the phyco, biker clown grandma?

That's me mazi.. heheh

I was kind'a hoping more people would send in reference pics and we could pick one.

that sounds like a great idea! i'll try to find some ref. pictures to sumbit in!

Alright heres my ref link.

omg what a shithead!

THIS ONE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/DaikenkaiEX8/PICT0224.jpg <3

XDDDDDD That's not me, the one I posted XDDDDDDD I hope not @_@ -is a girl-

w00t! GO PEEP!

this is fun Dan... :) ...stealing all these pics to save to my pc right NOW. :)

Fun idea, yes yes yes. To see how everybody looks at the same thing differently and interpretes it thus. I like this idea very much.
_{P.S. That's a "count me in".}

Ha! This is neat, I'm in.

Ok, here's my thing. ref

So when do we decide which one to use? Maybe we could do this more than once and pick which one to do first? Or hey, maybe everyone could just pick whichever one they want to do and see which one is done most often? But I think if you submit a ref you should do your own ref at least once. How about it science?

I like Dan's ref. Being that I like drawing objects more than people.

Edit: AND it's shinay!! <3

Yes, yes it is..and it has all the primary colors. :) Of course, that doesn't really matter because anyone can paint any ref any way they want. Thugs's ref has plenty of colors. lol

lol.. yes.. plenty of colors, indeed!

I think this is a great idea too. (and i like the colors). Suggestion..to do these all on the Theme board..since we have that.. and it wont get all mixed up with crappy scribbles and such between the entries...?

I agree. Let's use the theme board and draw any ref that's been posted up to now.

YAY YAY!!! I like that idea!

Refs people, refs.

I always miss all the fun stuff. :(

You haven't missed it yet. Draw one!

Here's a pretty goofy picture.

Lol Whoops..Gene Simmons on vacation in Hawaii.

Hehe, the title was 'Native Tongue' which completely cracked me up.

Nooo! Draw the dude with the fro! >DD Bwahaha

That sounds like a really cool idea, Axil. I think it would be really interesting to see how people attempted on doing it (in their own style). [though I think it would be a bit boring if most people did it almost EXACTLY like the picture]. I want to see more variety here. [not that I don't see any variety, but ya know, I haven't really seen something new and unique around here in a while now...]

[edit]I would prefer if the reference pic was something appropriate (ie: PG-13 or 18+) but I guess if one doesn't find it appropriate then one shouldn't attempt on it anyways. lol[/edit]

here is my contribution

And what a Fine Contribution it is lol

lol cyclops... nice file name :) ( would like to draw this, but I can't 'cause my son's home )

I like that one. Maybe I will do that one... maybe.. if more people do it too

alright, maybe this? http://www.denver-photo.com/fun-3-copy.jpg

will try to draw some of those lol

Here's something crazy that I found. ^^

I'd rather see more artistic refs, personally, instead of all this kitschy stuff. Seems like the outcome would be a lot more interesting. Here's a suggestion:

..oooh. I like Zack's. I might have to actually draw that.

its too hard

I like Zack's ref too...I might do that also...hummm

http://andrewbare.com/gallery/nyc/villagearch

My offering.

Or this one: http://andrewbare.com/gallery/nyc/rent

Heh...I might try to do one of these.

^lol^....
Dan, this whole idea has opened a world of creativity. Where the hell are you anyway?

@ Kilala: I had no idea what you just said...

Bleh....

I feel sorry for that owl...

well heres another ref.pic....considering this thread was intended for posting links for reference pics and not chatting about how many times you brush your teeth...so STFU and post pics >OI

Wow Connie, those are gorgeous! I am severely tempted. I might even do cyclops' turbo, too.

how bout... http://www.geocities.com/heynarxd/cc.gif
heh..me when i was little. ^_^

Those are all fantastic ideas/ref pics but has anyone really started on it? (maybe that sounded like a dumb question--just curious) I might start on doing those pictures but I'd like to see someone post a picture (in relation to this topic) first.

[edit]ok nvm. my question's just been answered.[/edit]

i hope this idea didn't die....heres another pic

and heres another

who is that? I like his hair, lol

I don't know who he is. I just saw the pic and thought It would make a good ref.
