Mabelma's Thread of Stuff (Art)

[Rökkan]

i like this thread

of course, once you know and learnt how to do things like clothing folds and lightsources, you will prefer to do it on your own than doing with a reference, because doing with a reference feels copying, and doing by yourself feels better and more open. and if you really trust your skills that much, you will want to do without a reference, even though if you really want to make it excelent, you will want to search for references
(please do correct me if i'm wrong, zee and jar!!)


but your point was that he, that JUST started to get more interested in drawing, start observing real life and start copying it without the proper education of observing real life and without previous references to learn how to do it
then you backpedal saying that everyone that already knows how a certain thing happens IRL must do without a reference
and then you go personal >: i don't really get the seriousness in here am I missing something???
