      Hi Jonathan,

      I did the model using the concept are from the exercise/ watching your vids but i wanted to do another one for practice .  Do you have any suggestions on where to get architectural images for use for art .  I’ve been researching the creative commons /public domain  license stuff but wanted to get your thoughts/suggestions on finding good images/blueprints for this purpose w/o violating copyrights or stealing anyone’s work.   Also, do you know of any articles that talk about using others art /images as reference/inspiration w/o stealing them and where the line is?  

      Thanks,

      Curtis

      ps – I know to always give credit to whoever created the image & get permission from owner/creator  appropriate to license type  but with architectural stuff it seems to be a little trickier than regular art.  Just looking for more resources/info as you probably have more experience with all this.

        Good question! There are blueprints for a lot of things online, but houses and buildings are a bit tougher. You could try finding one you like on a website like this: 

        https://www.homeplans.com/ 

        http://www.perfectlittlehouse.com/designs.php 

        https://www.houseplans.net/ 

        While I can’t recommend using their images as your exact blueprints, you could use a combination of them for reference about the scale and general placement of things without worry. 

        Hope that helps!

          THANKS Jonathan!  That’s pretty much right in line with my conclusion of how to deal with  this.  Getting  another & also professional opinion that agrees helps a lot.
