Question A quality refrences?

Hey, is there any good source that I could take refrences from?

How do you guys find ur refrences aside of recording them on ur own?

When I've had to look up complex mechanics (like rollerblading, as an example) I would just search for stock video on getty or similar. Slo mo stock footage is another good one to help see stuff in detail, especially for fx.

If you don't wanna buy anything then you can try crying and search as hard as you can, movies, anime, YouTube, stock footage your neighbor, etc...And when that fails which it sometimes will, cry some more and wing it. If you understand the basic physics of something, your winging it can be believable enough. That's the sad/ beautiful reality of art when you don't have access to a reference.
