Drawing animals can be a challenge, especially when you usually only draw humans. But that shouldn't keep you from trying! Luckily there is a large variety of animal stock available right here on DeviantArt. Here's another list to help you find just the right one for you ^^


- This list is by no means complete. There is a lot of animal stock on DA, of varying degrees of quality, so I've had to make some selections. The mentioned deviants have a large amount of stock specifically for that animal, the stock is of above-average quality, and/or stock of that type is difficult to find. I've focused on photographic references.
- Some deviants are mentioned more than once, if they have a substantial amount of stock of more than one kind of animal.
- That a deviant is mentioned is listed under an animal does not mean that they don't have other animal stock. Almost all do. 
- Sadly not all of the mentioned deviants/groups are still active. However their galleries are still relevant, so I decided to include them anyway. 
- I picked these categories because they are either the most common, or because they are difficult to find

When you use stock, always make sure you follow the Rules for Use set by the stock provider!Also make sure that the image you are using is really stock. Many stock providers also have non-stock photography in their gallery

Thanks! I hope to add more as I either get back to the zoo more often, or scan a lot of my older printed photos in. I always love seeing that people use my stock, and since I'm a frequent user of other stock for my own manips in my other galleries, I know how important it is to find the right images. Maybe I'll have something just right for a project

Iduna-Haya In reply to CRG-Free [2016-02-25 23:32:35 +0000 UTC]

My pleasure Thank you for your wonderful gallery, and for allowing others to use it as stock. 

When I make these journals I always carefully look at artists descriptions/journals. A lot of work gets submitted to stock galleries even though it's not stock, and on the other hand a lot of photographers do allow their work to be used as a reference even though it's submitted to the photography category. Either way it's worth it's worth the extra few minutes to check it out ^^

CRG-Free In reply to Iduna-Haya [2016-02-25 23:45:23 +0000 UTC]

Yep most of my images are stock. I also have some that are stock in my scraps. I just don't like them much anymore. However as stock for references they work great. I also allow others to make backgrounds and renders of my work to be posted as stock as well as long as credit is given in the stock piece and similar rules are used.

Again, so many thanks for doing these. I've used the pose one already multiple times.

Color theory is great. If you continue, shading and inking/lineart could be good?
