I totally agree, about the technical reference. I think that's what I meant by "reference"
Certainly I gather from as many sources as possible, so that I do not take too much from any one. But still...
I'm also extremely impressed by the ammount of research you do. I think the only time I went into such detail was to draw the pups on the scottish coast (which I had to look at many images of before I got a feel for the rocky coastline)
Mmmm. Caravaggio is brilliant. And I think you can learn SO much from copying art. That's why I do it on my own. I practice the proportion and angle from photographic reality, and inevitably design my own lines around it. By the time I'm done with a piece it FEELS so much like mine that it's hard to remember how many other images helped me to get it to that point. Then I feel guilty for wanting to take the credit. You know what I mean?
I just feel that the lines get especially blurred in fandom, and I need to ground myself sometimes. Thank you for your input. It actually helped to make my quandary much clearer.
