the Tour When I draw I try to get as many references as I
can.  I search through Google's images mostly.  The Barnes and
Noble bargain book section is great if you're looking for photos
of random things as well: castles, ships, birds, etc.  I'll buy
stuff just because I know I may need it someday.  Plus it makes
me look smart by having big books around the house.  There's
other stuff I use for reference, too.  For a while I was
obsessed with airsoft guns (which look just like real guns
except for that annoying orange ring of color around the
barrel).  When someone accidentally finds one I try to calmly
explain that they aren't real and that I need them for
work.  The truth is that I don't really need them…I just think
they're cool.  I can sadly admit that I spend more time playing
with them than I do using them for photo reference.  I love
walking around the house with a Glock stuffed in the front of my
pants while my dogs follow closely behind.
