Resources:

I have linked this on an old account, but this is some resources for you all that I have gathered over my time painting! Yush!

Masters - Huge Dropbox file, this is not my dropbox so I cannot guarantee it'll be around forever. 

www.dropbox.com/sh/bm2vi4ovf6g…

BBC - Masters - This is another huge collection of artists. 

www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintin…

Pinterest - Masters - I don't really like pinterest, but this collection is rather inspirational

Masters - Masters by style/search, pretty useful if you're looking for a particular style to master!

Anatomy Art Books:

illustrationage.com/2013/04/02…

A free link of all the Andrew Loomis art books, with great information and guide. 

Environment photos:

Reddit has a great collection of images, of course make sure it is known that you are studying and do not sell any of these already owned images. However, it is a great resource for practicing!

No inspiration:

My favorite source of inspiration when I'm feeling a little drained! Fffound does have some NSFW images so please be aware!

Materials:

Costumes - Resources of different eras, and the outfits that would have been worn. 

www.osfcostumerentals.org/stoc…

Armor- An extremely useful collection of armor! 

www.pinterest.com/azkur/armor/

Women in armor - There is a lack of decent references of women in armor, well here you are!

Edit 1 - More useful links!

Screencaps - Great resource! Lots and lots of screencaps from so many movies! Great for studies:

PDF - Composition - an interesting insight on composition!

Random streetview - Great for just finding references for painting scenery!
