Do you struggle to paint figures? Me too.

I've just launched a Kickstarter for my new book, Paint Figures Better, which contains the most important lessons, tools, and actions to help you overcome your barriers and finally learn to paint figures better. They worked for me and I bet they'll work for you.

_This book isn't going to teach you how to draw or paint figures._ It isn't a series of tutorials, anatomy diagrams, or paint by numbers.

Instead, it's a collection of 55 tips that will help you learn faster and more effectively. Some of these are fairly common sense. Others are a lot less common. And a few go directly opposite to how most people study figures.

The book is over 200 pages and is packed with art that I made to learn figure painting and is there to help guide or inspire you in your studies.

The writing is done and the design work is nearly complete. I'm on Kickstarter seeking funding because printing hundreds (or thousands) of books ain't cheap. I had originally considered only doing the ebook, but I'm a sucker for nice, printed art books. So I'm trying to make a beautiful hardcover book and I can only do that with your support.

I've never done anything like this and it's kinda terrifying, if I'm being honest. So your support means the world to me. I quite literally can't do this without you.

Check out the video above for more, but basically: it's a freaking great tablet and I like it way better than the Wacom Cintiq. It's also waaaay cheaper, which is nice.

I originally shared this article a few years back and I know it helped a lot of people jumpstart a study habit, so I thought I'd refresh it (and post it somewhere other than stupid locked-down Medium):

I've been so blessed by all the support I've received with Reference.Pictures over the years and I wanted to spread the love around a bit. Check out these great resources in my newest article, The 9 Best Places to Find Pose Reference.
