interesting, which is this other kind of technique you referred to? and what are the few artworks you made without a unique reference? i´d like to see! note that i´m not myself good on doing things without reference, and i envy who can! i feel much like yourself. i´m just proposing it to challenge you.

i see you have a plenty of fans and admirers, and it´s obvious that your work is marvellous. but if i don´t say the negative points i could see in my opinion and make suggestions, i fear i wouldn´t help you to free your artistic potential of creation...

but if you´re finding comissions to do by the way you´re usually doing, great! maybe it´s just me not understanding the artistic market... so used to the market of illustration, among my friends.

(and i´m curious to know about the prices you can get on these... hehe. because i´m easier to work using references too!)

i happily accept your possible artwork without reference (if you don´t feel bad doing that, of course...), but have in mind that this was just a suggestion for your own general improvement for freedom!

thanks i was trying out a different style and tecnique which i quit liked although i now mix what i learnt from this and mix it with my old tecnique,something in action sound a good idea,there are a few not too many without a ref mostly when i first started theyer not so good,i concentrate on realism as i im lucky enough to get a few comisions off the back of them which is what im aming for so the more practice from a reference the better for me,i would love to do something without a reference a good challenge i thinck,but putting down on paper what i see in my head i get stuck,i will try something soon just for you
