Quick rant

I was supposed to upload a lot of sketches yesterday, but the camera hated me. So I'll just post a mini-rant here for now. I'll try to find another camera when I get home.

Today's rant is about reference. I so often hear people brag about having drawn something without using reference. It pisses me off. Why? Because that means you are not doing all you can to make your drawing or painting or whatever look good. Think about it, is it not better to have a very nice and well drawn drawing that you have used reference for than having an ugly and half-assed drawing where you haven't used reference at all? If it could be better if you only used some reference then for the love of God, USE IT. I really wish I used reference more often, but I either forget or I am too lazy. But the thing is, I don't brag about it later. I want to punch myself for it later because something looks off and I know it could have been better if I used reference.

And now class is starting again, so that was all for now. Hopefully I'll submit some sketches later today. See ya!
