Ooooh, college! Haha I wanna go away to school... But alas, expensive as fuuuuck here. So a-commuting I will go.

I don't like them (usually, or at least I didn't before) because when I try to follow a ref I sometimes find it really hard to get things positioned properly, whereas when I'm drawing from memory or a pose in my head I can just go with what looks right, usually, and that makes it easier for me to get the picture to look how I want it to. Hahaha I much prefer drawing from life, but.... Hard to find people to do some of the poses I wanna do. >_>;

Recently though I've been having better luck with refs.
