The most important thing is to not copy or trace the Image or reference in the exact way, that you are seeing it. So using reference images will help you understand these details and you will be able to put them in your drawing more accurately. You may remember the general shape of the apple or the basic color of the apple but there are so many details, that you are not going to be able to draw from your imagination. Let’s say, you want to draw an Apple and you are not using reference. So when you are drawing something, then you are actually creating an illusion of the real world or an illusion of a real-world object.īut how do you want to create that illusion, if you never actually closely looked at the thing, that you want to draw? Why is Drawing from Reference actually good?Īll, that drawing really is, is creating an illusion of a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface. So is drawing from reference cheating? No, it is not! When you are using reference the right way and if you are not just copying, what you are seeing or tracing from your reference, then using reference Images will actually help you improve your drawings drastically. I think every artist is hesitant to use reference in the beginning but what if I tell you, that it will actually help you Improve fast if you use the reference the right way.
