--Yeah. Peter han also goes to museams a lot (what I noticed on his) instagram. He also draws a lot from an actual object than googling. Hey just saw you're going to start that challenge of drawing only from reference off of life, so will have to PM you to get in further details of what it will be about

--im sure he goes to museums to research dinosaurs himself instead of googling them
17 Jun 03:19
--He makes his own clays, and take screenshots of those to make his artworks.

--Of course. It will be different, since the person them self, went their way to collect their own resources than using others, at the same time, there is room for both. One shouldn't limit to only one approach. But I do agree.

--that is exactly the point: you dont really need the kangaroo and you probably don't really have a connection to them if you dont see them in real life often. if you limit yourself to your own environment it'll just have to be something personal to you
17 Jun 03:16
--And I already do that, haven't delve into env. yet, but I take pictures of my own poses. Since that's what I am currently learning more about. Same with heads.

--Lets not kidding our self that we will find a kangooro reference, if someone is living in a place where there is no kangooro to begin with. Unless the person picks up his belongings go to the places where he can find kangooros, take pictures, come back home. (Fly to other places)

--just try it :) not saying you need to do it forever, just do 1 design without online ref
17 Jun 03:14
--of course, the internet is a great resource, but just try it out to limit yourself that way! it's crazy how much more original and true to yourself it'll be

--Always find new interesting things since I do not specifically search for something, rather I just put some time to just explore see what new other ideas pops up, and put that in my morgue folder/pins
17 Jun 03:11
--Hence on pinterest, I diversify the topic and just explore and google + as well.
17 Jun 03:11
--Why not combine both? If you're not looking for something fresh, you can just google whatever see what you will find.
17 Jun 02:27
--when you look up stuff online, it always is filtered by the intention to find something and that means you already know what it is before you find it so you can rarely find something fresh because you're limited by what you know already. but just draw stuff from outside your doorstep and you'll see a million things you'd have never looked up online

--its weird how that feels like a hack to get to your personal voice, it's so powerful and simple
17 Jun 02:20
--ikr! theres infinite inspiration everywhere that no one else except you will ever get the chance to use
17 Jun 02:20
--Sounds like an interesting challenge! Just saw something on my desk that I could easily turn into a space ship!
17 Jun 02:19
--if people wanna have a challenge like this, send me a PM and I'll make sth. in the future, right now there's too many challenge work going on already
17 Jun 02:17
--maybe i'll make a challenge for that, i really want to see what happpens when people try it out
17 Jun 02:16
--i SO recommend that to anyone, just draw one thing from imagination and the only ref's you may use are what you find in your immediate real-life-environment

--I've watched a few Feng Zhou videos and he's got a massive library of reference photos that he's captured himself - amazing sunsets etc ...
