the butcher, the baker
On a day when things have been a little grueling, as a capper to a week which has been rather the other side of delicate and has left us feeling the same, I couldn’t help but think that we were surely not alone. And while it’s tempting to launch into a preamble about how photo reference is not for the faint of heart, I thought I’d just … you know… show, instead of tell. I will say that Stuart has been adamant up until now that this material absolutely not be made available for public consumption and his current state of capitulation is a testament to his concern for my mental health, as well as all of yours.
I’ve got a week’s worth. They just get better. Enjoy.

This is what happened to the Brothers Hildebrandt. I think I have an entire book of Hildebrandt ref shots like this. Next come the hero outfits, broadswords and fake ears.

I think that scenario is unlikely. There are certain things that Stuart is more than willing to be lazy about…
also? look at those teeth!

Understandable from my drawing table!

I actually wrote a bit on photo referencing, etc online. If anyone is interested. I think it echoes the issues that many artists deal with in revealing their process:
