Need reference shots for a piece...

It would help a lot to see an example of someone diving towards the camera with one hand forward.


Preferably a guy, because that's the gender I'm drawing.


Thanks! In the water, just diving in the air, whatever,

It's just the pose I need.

check out photo reference sites, my goto site is usually Corbis they have a search feature, and images on google is also good.

Use the Searchfu young padawan! Membership at corbis is free and then you can get photos without the watermark.

Oh start creating a reference library if you don't have one.

Thanks, Alex, that helps!

I couldn't find a pic that was diving towards the camera, however. Is there anyone that has a link to a pic..?

search for this: 42-16438249 at corbis. it's the picture's id number.
42-16327389 is a nice one too.

try different search terms like swimming, underwater, they have lots of stuff, sometimes you need to narrow your searches other times more general searches will work.
