Gravity Kiss
Every once in a while people ask me if I use ref when I draw and the answer is NO 99.999999 % of the time. But when I paint (which isn't often enough) I absolutely use it. It's my handicap as I need it to figure out my lighting. As you can see in the below process piece I dont use ref pics it to figure out my color. I generally like to push the color to a more saturate state much like my drawing :)
Finding ref pics is a real hassel!!! Maybe one day I will hire models and light them myself but that seems like an even bigger hassel! :)
