Good Reference Material is Important for Animal Artists
Unlike with humans it can sometimes be impossible to work from life with many animals especially exotic wildlife so reference photos are a must. Also as with all art based on life a good grasp of the anatomy is important. I've compiled a constantly growing list of websites and books to help you out.
