Description
Reference: humanae.tumblr.com ^^^^^^ This is an incredible site and project by the photographer Angelica Dass! In an effort to collect and convert the vast gamut of skin tones into the pantone color system she has also compiled a database of facial features, hair, skin textures, and different body styles. I would highly recommend this site as a study and practice guide to anyone, as well as a reference for ethnicities.
When I started working my current job I drew to relieve stress and this wonderful site became a nightly habit. I desperately needed to grow my skills but struggled to know what to draw and this site was a huge help - would highly recommend a sketch/drawing/painting a day from it. But do ask Angelica's permission before posting your studies (I did, and she very kindly gave me permission to.)
