Drawing style using reference..

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 26, 2004, 12:27 AM
Say you draw and you base your drawing on a person's face .. and you draw a pose base on references and models...
..armatures and what not..

if you can quite reproduce /duplicate or create the similar style you made using all these bag of tricks..

would you consider the style you created with those tricks not really your own..


Im sorta stuck in that situation.. I dont like the style I draw when its " just me" no figures to reference..no person to base on. Does this mean its my real style.

What I hope to accomplish is that with repetition.. The reference me and the no reference me will joing together someday..


I know artist who use models or references in the "art world" don't quite have this problem.. but being a comic artist arent you suppose to do all this in your head. alone.
