There's an artist named Greg Land who's getting shit on because of that.

You use refs to build your visual library

18 May 19:39

Amit Dutta

Most of the uber pros I have met boil down all of their crits to developing artists to two things. Learn to draw better. Use Reference

18 May 19:39

John

@Mech Because there's a perception that you're not a great artist but instead a copier if you rely heavily on refs.

YES

18 May 19:37

Hobitt

18 May 19:37

Hobitt

but like i sed NEVER MESS UP PERSPECTIVE

18 May 19:37

Amit Dutta

the answer is always: do both.

18 May 19:37

Hobitt

yeah its good to practice that

18 May 19:37

Mechanizoid

Dunno why people think that LOL

18 May 19:37

Mechanizoid

That thing about ref is BS though, you gotta use ref

18 May 19:36

Mechanizoid

You dunno how you'd be drawing if all you did was use a ruler and never practice ghosting lines etc.

18 May 19:36

John

I started out thinking using reference for pieces were cheats.

18 May 19:36

Mechanizoid

Yeah, but you'll have all that practice freehand behind you

18 May 19:36

Hobitt

just keep doing what youre doing and after 3 or 4 years you will change your mind

18 May 19:35

Hobitt

ahh i see when i started i also was very dogmatic NO CRUTCHES ALL FREEHAND NO CHEATING

18 May 19:35

Mechanizoid

NO MORE STUDYITIS

18 May 19:35

Mechanizoid

Also right now I'm changing my philosophy a lot, I want to apply everything I'm learning.

18 May 19:35

Mechanizoid

Not long, and I keep going on and off with my practice, gotta stop that

18 May 19:34

Hobitt
