Resources for Artists:

Krita (FREE drawing software):
What I use for my art. Free, comes with lots of brush options by default, but it's also really easy to add new brushes. Has animation capabilities (though I haven't played with this part much).
- Pose Reference -
Design Doll:
Free poser tool for creating your own pose refs (there is a paid version as well with more features, but the free one is just fine).Reference Angle:
Head/facial refs for many different angles, can also filter by emotion, gender, and age.The Pose Archives (deviantart):
Collections of pose refs, I like how they do all the poses with multiple genders.
