The reference can be direct (as in an external image), but it can (with much drawing experience) be constructed with a reference like an anatomy book. There are two books I recommend for the photoshop part and the anatomy reference. If you are lucky, you can find a used copy of whichever book(s) you need on eBay/Overstock/Amazon/Half.com/cheapestbookprice.com/booksprice.com, or for free at a local library (although the reference you should buy if you need; no sense borrowing one): Color Atlas of Human Anatomy by R. M. H. McMinn, R. T. Hutchings, J. Pegington, P. Abrahams ISBN 0-8151-5858-0 When buying an anatomy reference for the purposes of artistic realism (neither of these books are "the best" or "the only ones you'll ever need"), make sure that you buy a reference that uses photographs, and not illustrations, to show the human body. Books like "Gray's Anatomy" are for doctors/interns who need to know where everything is (usually quickly), and, to this end, the skill of visually separating all the bone, muscle, and other tissue a medical artist has much of. Adobe Photoshop Studio Techniques by Ben Willmore As for drawing/painting, you can't learn from a book (unless you are incredibly self-motivated and brilliant), but a service like drawingprofessor.com or universalclass.com/i/crn/12083.htm or elearners.com/course/36417/Artist/Penn-Foster-Career-School/ or a website like wannalearn.com/Fine_Arts/Visual_Art/Drawing_and_Sketching/ can help you learn to draw/paint.

I'm not exactly new to digital manipulation, but I found this hard to follow- although brilliant. it would be great if you provided your source pics, or quite a bit more detail.
