I'm on the hunt for fresh Tools Tuesday topics for the fall event! If you see a cool resource, or some advice that helped you, feel free to message it to this profile's DM's, or on the other event socials!

And if you finished your project, great work!! Congratulations! Take some time to rest and bask in your success. Not sure how to bask in your success, exactly? Not to worry, someone wrote a fun little guide for just that!

You made that! You pushed forward, even when it was hard! You participated in this event, which means you want to get it done, which means you are on your way to getting it done!

This event is just a motivation. Progress doesn't need a deadline. I hope that you keep working on your wip!

For everyone with works still in progress, whatever progress you've made -- a line on a drawing, a sentence on a page, a stitch on a fabric project -- I hope you look at it with pride.

Today is the final Tuesday of the event! Technically, the event ends tomorrow! It kind of snuck up on me, to be honest. These months have been busy! I hope you have made progress on your WIP!

Ohayou Bluesky. Proko told me about Eyes Training, a website where you can see the intersection refs of simple objects. Super handy for art exercises and understanding figures, huh? eyes.training/intersections/

This is one of my absolute favorite tool for face lighting! You drag the head to the angle you want and then press play or drag the bottom slide til the light is where you want it.

Tools Tuesday is a weekly part of the Finish What You Started event where I share various resources I have found to help everyone complete their WIP. Have a resource you want to share? Send it in a message and I’ll take a look!

Finish What You Started 2025 @finishwhatyoustart.bsky.social · Apr 23

Hopefully some of these reference sources will help you finesse your artwork, or give you that inspiration to finish! What inspires you in a piece? Do you find the pose first, or craft a vibe and search for just the right positioning to fit it?

For shapes, try eyes.training/intersections/ to see how things interact and intersect.

For lighting faces, williamnguyen.artstation.com/projects/6a0...

For posing entire human bodies, isolated by joint or limb, there’s Pose Search x6ud.github.io/pose-search

And for animal heads at every angle, there’s x6udpngx x6ud.github.io#/

Let’s say you have a pose in mind, but just can’t find the exact angle you need. Pose aggregation sites can help you fine-tune what you’re looking for by finding photos that match a criteria. For human heads and facial expressions, there’s Reference Angle referenceangle.com

If using plain 3D models works better for you, people like Pan might be a better resource. www.kamitokatachi.com And if you use Clip Studio Paint, there are tons of poseable 3D models available on the Clip Store.

PoseManiacs is also a cool one to look at. They color code different muscle groups, making it a little easier to isolate parts of the body (just note their 3D models are basically skinless humans, if that is something that freaks you out) www.posemaniacs.com
