I like your stance on it, James. A elhhtay mix of observational drawing and a good-sized morgue file never hurt anybody.I hardly use reference photos, especially when it comes to organic things like people or animals. Usually, I use them to find an exact costume detail or to see how fabric falls on a figure a certain way. I’ve found at least for myself if I tend to reference living things heavily, it comes out really stiff. But if I’m unsure about how something looks after doing a couple of sketches, I look it up and try to incorporate what I learned.Frazetta is a GREAT example of someone who clearly didn’t use reference. I remember a painting of his that had a woman perched on top of a rock with two lions surrounding her. The lions are clearly not based on anything, but they’re believable, partly because I think there’s no sense of him at some point in the painting thinking “Well, I’m not really sure how this is supposed to look. Is that what a big cat looks like?”
