Art VS Reference #1

Added 2023-01-15 02:17:21 +0000 UTC

I've been slacking on doing these even if they're part of the member benefits... SORRY LOL But this is the first batch of them, and I aim to do them monthly.

I tried to find pictures with three different degrees of "how close is it to the reference" but idk if I succeeded LOL There's always some bit of contention or debate about it, which thankfully is shifting away from the "references=bad" narrative, but just remember that references are part of growth as an artist, and tbh why suffer trying to figure out the right angle for the nut asksdaj I like to think I add enough of "me" into my pics to make them different anyway, which I feel is more important, but maybe some ppl would disagree. I will say it definitely did help me with my anatomy by a ton, and some angles/positions I can now draw confidently without aid thanks to all the references I used to practice.

Anyway, hope this post is somewhat interesting and informative! If there's ever a pic you'd want to see a post like this for, feel free to suggest in the comments or in the discord #suggestion-box! I'll also appreciate feedback and suggestions on what you'd like to see in these, and questions are also fine too! Once I figure out how to do videos, I'll maybe uploading process videos too.
