I know this has probably been asked and discussed a thousand times, but is it odd to have to use reference for everything you draw? I have trouble drawing totally from visual library/imagination so I've always got a reference pulled up when I draw. Anyone else like this? Is there a real disadvantage or should I force myself to go referenceless?
