There are times I do trace but it's only for like... meditation reasons. Even then, It's not like I can't do it legit anyways. A lot of times I'll do extremely quick draw overs to make fast thumbnails and compositions and then just redraw them normally.

The paintings posted in here are legit. I painted all of them, the hardway. There is another photo I used for ref, one of melissa clarke for the lips and eyes but I couldn't find it. The photos of flowers are my own.

I would hire models but I am poor. To get around that, I normally combine 3-4 photos of different girls in order to create a "new" person. Aspects of light, color, structure, eye/nose/lip types, and different hair styles.

So yeah, you just jelly.
