Is there a website to look up models or people to draw, with gender, ethnicity, and age filters. (if possible)?
For example if a wanted to make a cartoon character realistic and use a real person for reference or to edit the photo to look like them?
I’ve been just googling white 20s male, black female 40s etc. (can’t find any good references for kids either) and been sifting through the results.
My very sweet and VERY Catholic coworker: this new abortion law… they’re saying God doesn’t believe in killing the innocent babe to save the wicked mother…. Well I have some news for them about what he did to his own son.
Me: oh my god.
Her: honey. Exactly.
Imagine if you walked into someone else's mind. Imagine if they walked into yours. Imagine that you couldn't tell which was which. Imagine that it didn't matter. Imagine that the membrane between you was so thin that what is you and what is her can no longer be clearly defined. Imagine that "mine" and "your" fell away, leaving only "our". Imagine that the reason you can't tell was because you are, on a fundamental level, the same person. Imagine you were two halves of a soul that were never supposed to be put together. Imagine that you smiled. Imagine that you've been fighting all year, but when you first get the chance to exist in this primordial, spiritual space, all that exists is gentleness and peace. Imagine that this is all you ever wanted. Imagine that she touched your cheek. Imagine that you were soulmates. Imagine that this was never acknowledged again. Imagine that the first thing she did when she woke up was walk to you and kiss you. Imagine that you never knew. Imagine that I watched this scene thirteen years ago and it permanently rotted my brain from inside to out.
