You know, in all my searches, I've never been able to find reliable reference for people swinging swords. I have a friend who practices HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) and after joining him in a few classes, all I can see when I look at photos of people holding swords is how clearly they have no idea what they're doing.
Here's one of the better reasources I can find for swords

She's actually pretty good at getting solid looking poses even though her body doesn't really have the detail.

Thanks a lot anon, I know the feeling desu, I struggled to find good sword references too, I'll check out the link though!
Requesting couple references desu.

Would anyone have an idea where I could go to get a nice compilation of dancing references?
I'm having a hard time finding things that work.
>>2460321
google images isn't bad. also researching specific photographers that photograph dancers and checking out the galleries could be good resources.
Requesting things in overcast illumination, skin in particular.

Overcast Light, Part 1
When a thin veil of clouds covers the sky, sunlight is diffused and indirect.
The sky appears light grey or white. It gives a soft overall illumination that lightens all the upward-facing planes. As planes face progressively downward, they get darker. But there’s no sharp demarcation between light and shadow, and there aren’t any definite cast shadows.
>>2461665
Overcast light is ideal for complicated outdoor scenes. It was a favorite with the French academic painters, like Edouard Detaille (1847-1912), above. One of its virtues is that it allows you to paint forms in their true local color with a minimum of modeling (description of form using light and dark values).
>>2461666
Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891) was a leading academic painter who frequently made use of this kind of light. With overcast light his picture is simpler than it would have been with direct sunlight.
>>2461668
Technically speaking, this painting by Meissonier is set in open shade—note the sunny window on the other side of the house—but it’s the same basic effect as overcast light.
>>2461672
I believe Meissonier was a huge inspiration for Howard Pyle (above). Meissonier was the artist that every history painter was talking about during Pyle’s formative years, but he’s still in eclipse among most American art historians, unfortunately.
Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (1852-1929) used overcast light to beautiful effect in this painting of Breton women. The light allowed him to reduce modeling. The white headdresses appear as simple silhouettes first.
>>2461677
Dagnan-Bouveret used shape welding in both the light and dark areas to unify the tonal masses even further. Painting a scene with nine major figures and still keeping it simple is very, very difficult to do.

not the guy that requested it but thanks for posting these, dude.
>>2461050
I used it for awhile but everything seems so posed. I just wanted more natural pictures of people mid dance.
I dunno how to put it but i need photos with a selfie perspective
>>2461961
Look up videos of people dancing and pause it? Dancing is movement and those are stills of the movement at the most aesthetically pleasing points.
>>2461965
just use the selfie tag on any social media bruh
>>2461961
Look up figure skater shots maybe ?
It's the better form of dancing anyway.
>>2461916
No worries, have a bunch of photos of operations as well that I could dump if people are interested.
the dancing photos are great! requesting photos of male dancers or multiple figures/ couples (like ballet) if possible! danke danke anon

Not everyone is as a good an actor as you
I've discovered that there are behind the scene videos of some of my reference images. actually seeing them stressing after doing poses makes me reconsider some of my pose study
http://www.tube8.com/erotic/emily-%26-mike-photo-session/24479401/
Why do we have non-stop reference threads these days and not a single study thread anymore? We used to have a reference thread like twice a month. Is there really a reason for these to become an ongoing general?
>>2463196
make the study thread yourself.
>>2463196
So make one? Idc either way but you seem to.
>>2463196
You're... complaining that there's too much reference? Why not just enjoy it while it's here? And if you want a study thread, what's stopping you from making one now that you have an over-abundance of reference to take from?
>>2463215
>You're... complaining that there's too much reference?
Yes, because now that there is a new thread every single day, you can't possibly keep up with it so 90% of the stuff posted will be lost on anyone who doesn't spend all their time looking at refs.
There is such a thing as drowning out quality refs through the sheer amount of quantity that is being posted.
>>2463278
Aren't a lot of these posts in response to specific requests? So it's not like these are unwanted.
>>2463196
thes threads are literally the only reason i come to /ic/, i don't post my studies because theyre boring and i don't post on ic normally but honestly the more the merrier imo. i love coming across serendipitous photos i would have otherwise skimmed over myself. danke all contributing anons
