Google Images
Google Images is a powerful and expansive image search engine. Use the advanced search option to limit by content type (line drawings, photographs, faces, etc); file size for higher quality images; and usage type (creative commons, etc).
Googe Image Swirl is a different way of displaying your search results. It "organizes image search results based on their visual and semantic similarities" and "combines a variety of image similarity features with additional metadata about the images to build a hierarchy of clusters of image search results." Here's an example of what this looks like using the query "Warhol." Explore this tool to enhance your image searching!
