@ lake : okay, will do then :D I'm was just a little afraid that in the long run it would impact my ability to draw anything that I can imagine, realistically, from my mind (my goal). I will start using reference from now on!
Today felt AMAZING. totally felt all sorts of learning vibes from this. just short studies for legs and weight/stance, but really clicked for some reason. The top two are imagination and the bottom two are from photos. I do have one question though. In regards to the loomis proportions (8 heads) which is what I use for imagination, does it seem like I'm stretching my figures vertically? I enjoy drawing in real-life proportions much more, but 8 heads is sooo convenient for perspective that I feel like I'd be better off getting good at that instead. opinions?
