Witch Duo References with Props 

To fashion a convincing witch, an artist needs to begin with a strong foundational knowledge of human anatomy.

Using reference photographs of real models can help ensure your bodily and facial compositions are accurate. This Halloween-themed special release features two stunning models in both paired and individual poses interacting with props, costumes, and scenes, across 340+ meticulously curated images. If you’re a digital illustrator looking to add some naturalism to your supernatural beings, look no further than this essential resource.

• 340+ witch anatomy references

In this next asset containing 150 high-resolution, portrait-style stock images, a mezmerising model performs a series of versatile poses while incorporating witch-themed props such as broomsticks, skulls, apples, potions, and more. If you envisage your witch concocting a spell, extracting snake venom, or brandishing her wand, these references containing theatrical poses can lend fluidity and authenticity to the movements of your character, making them all the more compelling.
