Hello everyone!

I've decided to keep a few of the journals I have written for this week and I'll be posting them as news instead, as they are more opinion centric by studying the methods of story telling.

However for my last journal I want to share with you some delicious resources, beware this journal should get pretty huge!!

I have split them into two...deviantART and Outside Links. As you know I cannot control what is on third party websites so enjoy at your own risk, but you can trust that I wouldn't post anything untoward.
That said, please enjoy and use these resources to your heart's content!

deviantART Resources

My own collection of artistic nudes for reference.

External Resources

You should gesture draw every day if you want to be a sucessful animator. Studying the movements of life is an invaluable tool. If you cant get to life drawing classes and you got thrown out of Starbucks for staring at people and drawing them then you can do some at work too with these three great links:
Posemaniacs

Quick Poses

The drawing script

Character Designs (lots of photo refs)

Pixar Animator Victor Navone's tutorials

National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Photo Library

Acting Refs on Vimeo

Reference Reference (free video refs for animators)

Mega Speed (slow motion video refs)

The Slow Mo Guys (youtube)

Sherm Cohen's Storyboard Secrets

Thanks to him for all of these things, they're literally amazing and such a great source of inspiration and help.
