References | How to Draw Anything

Drawing is really difficult and for beginners it is worth having materials for learning. I made a guide for you with references on completely different topics

Introduction

Reference is an auxiliary image: a drawing or photograph that the artist or designer evaluates before work, to more accurately convey the detail, get additional information, ideas. (c) Wikipeadia)

Drawing the first drawing is the hardest part. To simplify your learning, I have selected tutorials and references, thanks to which everyone can understand the basics.

Open the desired topic in the table of contents and start drawing! Good luck!

Addendum from me

I'll be very happy, if you'll like and reward this guide <3

Nature

Bushes

Trees

Rocks and Mountains

Credits

Add the guide to your favorites, I will gradually supplement the guide with new references <3

Sources

So, now I cant update this guide all the time, so I'll leave some sources for you.

1. Open Pinterest[www.pinterest.com] and search "pixel art reference" or "pixel *some object* reference".

Here is a link to the profile from where allmost the half of the tutorials were. Everything is free aviable but if you wanna support the artist you are able to buy a comfortable all-in-one-download or be his patreon. :)
(Twitter needed - if else look for his website which seems to be bit more mixed with different content.)
