Pixelovely is a good tool. Any given stock photo site might also help as a resource.

But going outside to draw people and buildings from life, or doing still lifes around your own home are great options to consider first.
Hmm, well one thing that helps me is making a list of all of my favorite artist and keeping up to date with their art. smile Their art ends up inspiring me and pushing me to work even more! Also, I follow a lot of tumblr art blogs so there's always some good ref here and there...Uhm..

Oh, for ref, I usually look at stock photos on DA, pose myself (haha awkward!)
cool thnx guys ill try the things u suggested. heart

One tactic I used was that I traced over some of my old art (Yes it's sad) and over all look at them too see where I went wrong and try to memorize how the picture was then draw it. But my stategy may seem a bit bland and sad.

I recommend that you use the other comment's help they seem more useful.
You could try printing out the image you want to draw, then trace the outside line of it. After that you could fill in the inside, and fix your mistakes. You also need practice and patience! wink 3nodding
