I need to see loads of examples before I can get something. So here's loads of necks doing the weird necky things that necks do.
To get what's going on with the tangle of muscles and tendons catch necks in action. Watch people in cafes. Pause TV. (Buffy the Vampire Slayer has particularly good lighting for drawing.) Then check out how cartoonists simplify the confusion. Maybe even check out some anatomy to see what's going on beneath the skin. Each gives you a different piece of the puzzle.
Organized by where the head is relative to the shoulders, then by where the camera is. So each group should have the same muscles and tendons bulging out. (If you post drawings from any stock here, do check the stock artist's rules.) NOTE: Images marked with ⬅ are NOT stock. Use them for practice, but don't post. (There's only one image marked since there's so much great stock.)
If you stumble across good neck stock, especially with good shadows, I'd l

I love numbers that match 1,111 watchers have joined and I am so glad people are finding this club useful.
A little update on submissions, I would like to remind people this group is strictly for tutorials and reference images only. Reference being along the lines of something like this
where multiple shots are shown. For individual shots feel free to submit to our favorites!
I have been receiving lots of personal art and while its lovely, I am trying to ensure this group doesn't become like the others where you see more art then reference in the devwatches. These our rejected outright. Sorry about this, but I believe it is for the best.
Also had a few questions on rejections so I would like to elaborate. Please don't be offended if I reject the more cartoony style tutorials. I love stylized drawing myself, but as a reference point one must learn the rules of anatomy to break them. Otherwise, one is learning that artists personal style and may get stuck. Though I do allow cartoony style in tutorials that teach something other than anatomy, such as coloring.
Tutorial and reference sites:

I wrote a tutorial annabellefrance.deviantart.com… on my new art Lady Vampire - annabellefrance.deviantart.com…
In this tut I reveal all of my secrets, techniques of drawing, giving volumes, etc. It is very detailed and suitable for even novice photoartist.
