Hey all! Happy New Year! The other day we finally broke 200 watchers, and to celebrate I will be hosting an art giveaway. There will be three winners, each with a different prize. There are three ways you can enter the raffle, and each method gives your name another entry. So you may choose only one or all three methods to give yourself more chances of winning. **Update** I have created a list of the contestants and their current number of entries. If you feel that this is incorrect for whatever reason, just let me know and I will fix the problem. If the number of entries is wrong it is probably because I haven't been informed if you share

Thank you to everyone who has entered, and good luck everyone <333 ♥ ♥ Contest Details: CLOSED

Over the years that I have been a member of DA I have spent a lot of time drawing characters for my paintings.  Traditionally, if I cannot take my own photographs, I have searched for particular reference poses that will fit my compositions, or I have searched for inspiration among the various photographic postings.  Once a suitable reference is found, there then follows a time-consuming process of asking for permission to use it - sometimes OK and other times 'no reply' or refusal. I have recently come across =figurosity (https://www.deviantart.com/figurosity) which will certainly be useful to me and may be of value to others, especially in this group where there is interest
