I haven't drawn much in awhile, so this was a nice distraction for me :D

Once upon a time I disliked (and looked down on) using photo references. Now, they're an essential part of me trying to draw any picture. Often, the only times I even draw is when I see a photograph in a newspaper or magazine and think to myself "I think Character X would look good in that pose!" And I sit down and actually draw. XD It definitely helps with my perspective problem, because I have something to refer to, and lets me draw poses that I would otherwise have never thought of myself.
