Don't feel bad for referencing D:. Remembering a pose is a body structure so it's not really copying and that's just a fact of life lol. its like I drew this person standing and then the other person is like oh I drew this person standing to. Then suddenly the first person is like you copied me! D< so is everyone around us standing lol! xD But yeah its still great to be able to draw from the mind. =) I am try to get to that point as well. Anyway great job!

Thanks!
It's less that I care about what others think of it and more that having a great understanding of anatomy, and the technique to draw it. It's one of the things that to my believe says how good of a artist you are. I guess I have a ok idea about the human anatomy, I pretty much know every surface muscle, but my technique to draw the correct shapes, the correct look of the figure is severely lacking and really visible too. The way I look at it everyone can see the massive amounts of errors that I make.
I have to draw better or else I'm nothing like a real artist, and no one will like the things that I draw. Only once I master drawing correct anatomy can I move on and draw more interesting things as well as do things like coloring my works.

I know those feels lol. I am trying to get the type of female anatomy down that I have the type of male anatomy that I love. ^^ lol. I hope I can just draw it out one day without reference as well. =) Good luck!
