Was recently talking about the importance of reference, and was reminded of this pair of pictures I'd drawn of a friend of mine's DnD character.
Left one drawn without any reference, for the right one I had someone stand in that pose for reference.

This might be cheating for me specifically to reblog this, but I am kinda curious what people would assume based on my work.
(What counts as a fandom anyway.)
For reference, at that point I had spent almost ten years going through three different art schools, so I wasn't an amateur by any means! Drawing from life and using references still matters so much when you're learning and drawing something that hasn't been carved into your muscle memory yet.
Decided that if Xaranthras's boss is going to have an ArtFight profile, might as well make one for Xaranthras too.
Behold, the first ever face of this guy that's both up to date AND in color!
I think I'm a bit proud of myself.
I've been trying to learn how to draw humans and after a full year of trying I finally figured out how!
So Xaranthras's boss finally has a proper face.
I colored them! Unfortunately this sketchbook page didn't take watercolors as well as previous ones, so the colors are a bit blotchy.
The theater twins, the cream colored himbo and his wild type (with some white) sister.
