hello! thank you for your feedback!
The way i work on my art has actually three different approaches.
1. studies only /still life or photo study
(not much room for creativity but promises a lot of progress)
2. using reference to make my own ideas look proportionally right in every aspect possible
(it gets creative however i can still rely on images from real life)
3. painting from memory/imagination with a little to none reference at all
(creative chaos and nothing looks realistic)
the problem when using reference to me is that i focus too much on how to make it look as realistic as possible, and then it tends to blend in really bad with my "own original" background. that is why i actually try to avoid reference even though i know thats also a stupid approach because it doesn't get me far at all.
i will definitely work harder to get some progress done!
Thanks again for your comment, i appreciate it a lot :)
