I am indebted to the artists, museums, and scientists who have made it possible to use their models for reference for purchase or creative commons attribution.
I am currently working on updating these references with links. These models are invaluable for understanding the 3d structures and environments for my illustration.
The 3d software I use daily is Modo, Cinema 4d , Sketchup, Blender, andoccasionally 3dcoat. The 2d software I use include Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Procreate, and InDesign.
For nature work, I am also indebted to wildlife photographers who make their photos of wildlife and nature available in the public domain for reference.
Thank you!
