It’s a good way to start learning, helps to minimize the decision making and just focus on capturing the subject/composition well

>>8065165
It can if you don't have the type of autism that naturally lends itself to learning abstract stuff. A lot of autists are trapped in perma-/beg/ hell because they take 'just draw' too literally (and develop poor habits) or fall for the constructive drawing trap (drawabox, brokendraw, Peter Han, etc).

Gesture, line quality, drawing your immediate surroundings, continuous line drawing, shape/line grinding as warmups, meaningful tracing (break down refs into shapes), and spending more time looking at your reference than your paper is all you need when starting out. If anyone tells you anything else, they're horribly misinformed.

The big problem with a lot of capeshit art styles these days is that artists in the industry aren't regularly studying cartoons...and they aren't regularly drawing from life (actual people and sculptures) either. The industry also pressures artists to fit the contemporary in-house style which is not only excessively detailed, but the colorists and inkers are also told to push for extra detail (which is bad because the inkers and colorists aren't as effectively trained as they should be, which results in shitty art).

Older artists would draw from life, photographs, and cartoons/comics. The style was simpler because of logistics and the acceptance that comics were for kids.

famous person guy like celebrities and actors are extremely narcissistic, their personality depends on whatever people that they are currently hanging with, this is why you see an actor or celebrity suddenly taking an interest in /fa/shion or like, in this case, a drawing because there's someone who lead them to these interests and let the famous person mold themselves to it shamelessly.
Now, what famous people dont realize is that they are not an artist, they are nothing more than a tube of watercolor paint - their quality depends on idea (script) and the artist (director) skill to use them in their canvas (film). In short, just because they starred in a great iconic cinema movie film doesnt mean that they are an artist; we dont call a literal 10ml tube of winsor newton professional watercolor an artist - we call the painter an artist, the paint that the artist use is just a paint; it could be anything, it doesnt have to be a winsor newton paint, it could be 15ml daniel smith tube, or 10ml sennelier tube, whatever, what matters is the artist intention or their skill to direct that paint in their canvas.

That why I hate artists, you can't do anything you want, you have to follow the imaginary rules they created.
>>
>>8065420
You don't have to follow any rules if you're okay with the limitations that your methods can bring you. If you want to draw a pose or something that you can't find reference for, then what are you going to do? Just not draw it?
>>
Single piece that you will spend 60-100 hours on -> needs to be flawless use reference as much as possible but try to improve on it at the least

Sketchbook/Animation frame(s) -> rely more on imagination, use reference at the very end to just fix some mistakes so your next attempt at drawing from memory is even better.

I think this distinction gets lost in these threads. Bunch of illustrators arguing with people who's longest pieces probably took them 90 minutes.
>>
>>8059676
Doesn't matter most of this board can't draw with or without reference
>>
>>8065640
The distinction isn't made because beginners will use any excuse possible to justify being lazy. Someone might use a reference on a big fine art painting, sure. But that ain't you. Someone might rotoscope an animation. But that ain't you. Pretending like you are when you clearly aren't is why the conversation keeps happening.

I kinda floundered with the second one, especially the feet, but gotta forge ahead anyway w/ it,
for the first one I ended up going with non-straight legs, though I'm starting to think the straight legs will just be straight up better.
