~マキ~ @maki.northsky.social · 13hall the same, internet publicity could have been seen after in this case, but I can't imagine why... I personally also shied away from reference a lot when starting, thinking that skilled artists never needed them 000
~マキ~ @maki.northsky.social · 13ha part of me feels like it's affirming rather than patronizing; sometimes you're just not in tune enough with your artistic spirit and start making weird decisions (which doesn't -always- lead to poor results) and the message really was just being genuine about confidence in using references 100

Save the pics you like, organize them by pose, composition or whatever, and pull them up when it's relevant! I LOVE references! 1678
