Reference Photo Source

A few weeks ago, in THIS post, I told you about a wonderful source of reference photos by model horse artist and real horse photographer Kim Smith.

With Kim's gracious permission, here is a small sampling of what you will find there. Of course, the photos can be downloaded much larger from Kim's site than they will appear here. But don't delay in visiting; the photos only remain on Kim's site for a few weeks, and are eventually moved off as additional weekly photos are posted.

This photo has so many useful elements for painting eyes, structure, patterning, etc.

Anyone who has searched for close-ups of the backs of ears, as well as details about the exact way that the wrinkles form as an ear turns, will find this reference immensely helpful.

Calling all sculptors with this one!  Kim captured such a cool, rare angle and pose in this one!
