Be careful when using deviant art for tutorials. While it is good to see how other artists approach problems, you can pick up some other problems the artist might have.

A bunch of perspective and anatomy links you posted use loomis' diagrams, so here is a link to a bunch of his books on PDF. That way you can get his writings as well.

LOOMIS

other links that are handy:

Figure & Gesture Drawing lets you set up and personalize a life figure session in the comforts of your own room
Quick Poses similar as above, but only allows a maximum of 120 secs with each picture
Kuler color scheme sharing
Color Scheme Designer make your own!

That can be said about most information really, not just DA. That's actually one of the reason I wanted to make this thread, so people can have as much information as possible and make their own decisions. But feel free to tell me if any of the info I post is really bad or has lots of issues with it. I try to be careful and picky with these things, but I might not catch some things. =)

I already had the link for the Loomis books and color scheme designer (which is super helpful and fun), but didn't have the other links. Thanks!

I still have a lot of stuff to post, too. Gonna take forever to go through all this stuff.
