Is using references ( real life photos not drawings) as a beginner gay?
There is so much difference between my drawings using a reference vs the ones made from imagination, should I focus more on studying references or get more experience in imagination drawings?

You do both, not exclusively one or the other.

What sites do you guys use to get references?
I've only recently started using references as a /beg/ and to me it's another skill you have to develop to use them effectively.

how do you even ask this question?
what is going on in your mind? or what ISN'T going on?
"should I practice drawing?"
I don't know, anon. should you stick your dick in a meat grinder and crank it the fuck up?
should you?
