>proportion
Anon. He is a *comic book artist*. He draws the human figure more than anything else, and he can into construction. The proportions of the human figure are the first and most basic things you learn in figure drawing, I call bullshit on him needing reference to get it correct.
He ended up changing all of that shit in the final drawing anyways, if you didn't notice.
>lighting
Yes, I'm sure the guy who did the drapery and lighting of the capes *completely by imagination* just absolutely needed to use a reference to get the lighting of Superman's abs and pecs correct.

>b-but it save time
For a draftsman of his caliber, with a style that's this streamlined and polished? He actually could do this faster without all of that mickey mouse bullshit.
I'm starting to think that this isn't how the guy really works but rather a hypothetical demonstration to show other artists how they could use reference in this situation, or something. Looking at this guy's work (Greg Smallwood) it's very apparent that he's a skilled and knowledgeable draftsman, not some xeroxnigger rendermonkey who never learned How2Loomis™ who has no choice but to collage a bunch of shit together and paint over it to get anything done at all.
