Tutorial: How to use references
🕑 Added 2021-05-05 18:01:02 +0000 UTCedit: forgot to mention, if you have any questions feel free to ask!!:3
Hello~
Here is my first proper tutorial:') Took me some time to gather the info and then about a week to fix everything into a cohesive product, huge thank you to my editors who helped me fix any mistakes and give me good critique.
It's kinda lengthy, but I really hope this will be a helpful tutorial, I tried my best to explain things as best as I could.
I will post this tutorial to twitter in about two weeks, so please don't repost until then, afterwards it's free for sharing and learning!:3

You are right! I can say that from one year ago I did a huge difference from now, I were not very good and for me using references were very hard, so I can say that I'm really improving just recently, but yes I will try to use more pictures for create an interesting and more "original" work!!! the art is a long journey and is a never stop learning! thank u again Sasha!!!

I forgot to mention mapping πππ they taught me that in college during drawing lessons! It's super useful and helps with composition too! π
SpaceNip
No problem! βΊοΈπ Glad to hear the tutorial is useful!!

Im so glad you find it useful tsuki!! π₯Ίππ Tbh it's not bad in using just one pic! But using a couple of references can help you spice things up and make it interesting! π Especially when you want to reuse same ref pics!
Tsuki
THank you so much for this Sasha! Were very helpful! I am still stuck on working with just one picture for do pose and all, but yeah I need to take more different references for construct a different work! And I saved all the link that u left here in the description! Thank you again <3

Got em all downloaded. Looking forward to digging into them. Thanks for doing this. Completely awesome of you!
Belle
I feel like you explained it perfectly!! This is one of the ways they teach you to learn body's in fine arts is by mapping out poses and once you get that down you can build on it. π
