Pretty sure you don't draw, lol.
I actually laughed at this joke
you're right, using real life reference is stupid. Drawing posed figures is stupid
I mean, it's not like figure/gesture drawing was ever an essential part of being an artist that mainly focuses on the human figure, right?
even if its this anime shit, you have to understand anatomy to be able to express it differently. Otherwise you're just strengthening bad habits
It's like trying to learn an instrument without ever doing scales or understanding music theory. Sure, you can play difficult songs because you figured out how to put your fingers in the right places, but when you enter a setting where you have to understand how to transpose something into a different key or from a different instrument, you're basically fucked
but I don't draw or play music i guess
