Artists in the picture will wear it as a badge of honor that they've never looked at a single thing irl I guess.

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

From what I've seen this particular person only recently was told that this is the case, started using refs, and consequently finally started improving. Previously they were struggling because they were outright TAUGHT by someone to not use them. So this is actually a positive story for a change!

What boggles my mind is... how could anyone possibly be TEACHING someone to not use references? So much damage done to a young artist, affecting them for so many years... And then how could this person not learn that this is nonsense throughout all these years? It's not impossible, but still. Wild.
