No, I don’t feel bad about using references. But that is my trick. But I never use drawings, always photos, and idk how to convert that into a cute style. So my style is super realistic. I’m proud of it. View attachment 2542457

Mmmm, when I use refs I try to stick with real photos too, the less realistic look is from simplifying. Taking out things that aren't needed to communicate what it is you're looking at.

the rest of what's there can be communicated with coloring and shading. Basic outlines make it look more cartoony.

Exactly this!
Study from references to get a feel for the form and defining lines, then, if you want to stylise it, you can simplify it or exaggerate it however you like.

I do this TOO MUCH

I don't know about everyone else, but I appreciate pointers for everything. Including writing and drawing and whatever other arty thing I do. Because a lot of time I dislike what I have and don't know how to fix it so that it is what I want.

Seeing how someone else does the same thing in their own way might show me things I hadn't thought of before. Short cuts to getting it the same as I have 10x faster.

I like being told how it can be better.

I’m glad the appointment went well and the injury wasn’t too serious. I feel stupid but Monkey is your pet doggo right? XD

Thanks, I feel a lot better knowing it’s probably not broken. XD

I drew too close to the edge of the page. Oh well.
uhh it's a bad photo I'll take a better one tomorrow.
The t-shirt makes it very meta and I like that.

That’s awesome! Her form is really good, too. A lot of people seem to have a hard time getting it right, but you nailed it.

He’s a pug. Here he is in his natural habitat, being consumed by the cushions. :3

Aww, what’s his name?
