Need help, a little bit urgent.

Hello Figureteers!

I could really need some help. Im about to do a seminar regarding figurepainting for novices.
In that seminar I will explain the Stop sign rule. But I could use some pictures for it. Can anybody direct me to some pictures that might do the trick?

Especially one with the Stop sign itself. But I think I could easily draw it?
Also picture of a person, preferably a soldier of some kind standing with clearly indications where shadows and highligths falls.
And a picture of folds.
If I can choose I rather have drawn pictures than actual photos but all suggestions are welcome.

Cheers
Janne Nilsson

Just happened to run into this minutes after you posted...
A 30 sec Google search yielded this:


So when's your 'how to find stuff with Google' seminar?! :-P

Cheers,
Adrian

From Sheperd Paine "Building and Painting Scale Figures" - still one of the best books IMHO:

Sorry - no better scan but the book could be recommended in your class!
Cheers, Martin

Janne, are you teaching the class, or in the class?

Sorry, mate, I had to ask!

Although, seriously, we can all learn and no matter how good a painter we get to be, we can all mess things up by getting the basics wrong.

Thanks a lot!

Bear yourselves but Im going to be the teacher. Poor bastards.
Starts tomorrow, six sessions, the first one is more theoretical than the other ones which are more as demonstration and workshops. 8 person have given it a shot.

Cheers

Here are couple of of pages from the book euro Modelismo Painting Overhead Lighting that may help.
