I'm a bit wary of using reference on my illustrations. I think I kind of use these paintings to test my knowledge to work on stuff before moving onto the next painting.

Ok fair enough if you want to test your knowledge occasionally, but you can do that in a shorter drawing more often. If you don't use reference for your longer illustrations you're really just wasting your time struggling and the final result will definitely suffer. Use reference.
