There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarising! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3

They also have an animal one that I linked a whole back on the same site !
Hi! Do you know about PureRef? It's a software I just discovered that allows you to create and use ref images boards in a very intuitive way (and that you can also get for free or how little you can pay). As someone who usually needs an awful lot of refs before drawing anything (bc aphantasia) I can already tell this is going to save me so much time! I wanted to share the info because many others may find it useful as well!!
yes! I literally love this app and recommend it to everyone!
It's insane it's pay what you can, so if you are able to, support the devs who made a great tool.
I found what was essentially my art bible as a kid. I got it at a Barnes and Noble for my birthday and I took it literally everywhere with me that I drew; school, my house, my memaw's house, my friends houses, literally into the woods.
My name is written on the inside of the front cover in my scribbly little fifth grader handwriting and the cover has pencil indents all over it and the cover is peeling at the corners a little but AAAH I love you Manga Mania Chibi & Furry Character by Christopher Hart 💛💛
Do you know AdorkaStock Sketch? It's a totally free, web browser based app that works on desktop and mobile and with it you can rotate random AdorkaStock poses on a timer for sketching and gesture practice. You can change the timer, turn the beep on and off, and sort by some tags. There's also an option to make a free account to collect favorite poses and track your drawing days. Happy drawing!

Do you know about my free web based sketch app that rotates random pose references? 🤔
It's called AdorkaStock Sketch and you can access it on desktop or mobile. It will adjust to fit your screen! On mobile you can scroll down to see the options.
There are currently just over 2,000 poses in rotation with more coming. You can change the timer, skip poses, sort with filters, or try predefined class modes.
The site is completely free and thanks to my Patrons I was recently able to remove third-party ads! If you turn off your ad blockers while using the site you will only see my own ads.
You can also make a free account which will allow you to collect a favorites list and set sketching goals.
Please check it out and use it as often as you need to for pose browsing, gesture warm ups, or long drawing sessions (just hit pause on any pose!) Hope it's super useful for you. Happy drawing! 🎨✨
