This is for anyone wanting to learn to more accurately draw the female form, as well as an opportunity for females to inspire each other and raise self esteem. There is a lot of very creative things that girls do with their eyes, lips, hair, fingers, toes and beyond -- using softwares such as Photoshop and GIMP as well as some pure unadulterated artistic genius and mad skill with makeup. Girls who are really good with makeup aren't the "walking clown" variety. They're not trying to doll themselves up. They are truly artistic genius' when they really put their hearts, souls and minds more into defining their own beauty and are not so much worried about what others are going to think. This is how the magic happens. Even without makeup, many of these females are very creative in the allegoric, emotive, metaphoric, symbolic, expressive nature of their photography as well. They're making a point and expressing how they feel. Please do not take them for granted and please be supportive. Don't be a creeper! If you're thinking of using any of this as "stock" for photomanipulations, please ASK the owner of the picture first. Some of it might be stock where as others are NOT. Just because a girl puts up photos doesn't make it all stock :D Most girls will probably be flattered and tell you to go right ahead and use whatever, but please ASK FIRST. Thanks! :) I would like to remind the ladies -- within this favorites folder -- that on some page somewhere ... probably a lot of pages in a lot of places (depending on how much photography you've done, of course) -- that you will most likely see yourself there. As you look at all of the other girls pictures that surround yours and you think to yourself "my God, she is pretty ... I so wish I could be like her!" .. I would like to remind you that she is thinking the exact same thing about you, when she is looking at your picture. You are all beautiful, just each of you in your own unique way. I would simply like to make sure you are reminded of it.
