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
Some useful links as mentioned in the tutorial:

2021-05-06 16:46:48 +0000 UTCYou 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!!! çwç <3 <3 <3

2021-05-06 11:29:36 +0000 UTCIm 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!

2021-05-06 09:31:19 +0000 UTCI 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
