Artist References

Facial Expressions - Over 230 photos of 2 models, phonemes and a pointing gallery which did not fit in Mark's best-selling book, Facial Expressions.

10 pages featuring 132 photos of 3 more models not included in the book. Because this book is so jam-packed with photos, Mark ran out of room. Now you can get these extra pages not available elsewhere.

2 pages of phonemes not included in the book. Mark also had photographed an African-American man's phonemes, but again ran out of room. But with this offer, you can get them all. 24 photos.

5 pages featuring 80 photos of pointing references. Conceptual and storyboard artists are always drawing people pointing at the focus of interest in the background. The gallery features 9 models, men and women, young and old, casual and formal, pointing at distant objects.

This entire gallery of photos did not make it into Mark Simon's book. But we want you to have it for your artwork. $ 26 value-Free. PDF file. 

Cloudy Sky images - 14 high-resolution, royalty-free images of cloudy skies. These images include 9 wide pans, sunsets, storm clouds and more. Each image measures between 1,000 and 4,500 pixels wide. They may be layered, free of charge, into any animation or piece of art. $12 value-Free.

Boy, I sure wish I had your book back when I wanted to be a cartoonist. Great book!
Thanks again."

"Hey Mark,
Thanks for the great stuff! Inspirational resources!"

- Mel Milton

 

"My name is Alex and I just bought your book. Let me tell you: I already love it! Really. I often use a mirror for creating face shapes but squinting one's eyes and looking into the mirror is a tedious process often. So now I can look at all the different people without problems. =)
Even better, you offer to send us other images for free. Thank you for your dedicated work."

- Alex Lehmann
