I do all right with still life and landscapes but the human figure has been an issue, especially stylized as anime is. I've learned some anatomy now so it's becoming less of a problem. I can do very basic poses from imagination, but when we get into more complex positions I need a reference of some sort as well. I've used action figures, art mannequins, mirrors, photos I took myself, anything I can mooch off Google and sometimes end up pulling a bunch of elements from multiple sources, these eyes, that foot position.
I'd love to do more when there's time. Thanks for the encouragement! It always helps. :)
