The Importance of Reference

Me and Robert Dukes / Dukesy worked together on creating this article. Aimed at novice artists, but should be a good read nonetheless!

Nice article, to add to it, having your reference folder sorted correctly also comes in handy for any licensing issues within the games industry as it makes there life and your life easier having it all organised so if requested you can provide.

Thanks, also had a look at some of your other articles, some interesting ones, keep up the work

Nice article, well laid out and broken down into good steps. One thing though

"Enthousiasm" is spelled "Enthusiasm"

This is a great little article. I do most of this anyway, certainly the folder formatting is what I do. I always have a reference folder on hand because it's so handy.

This is the kind of thing you know but have a tendency to ignore anyway...and need to be reminded of! Thanks for posting. I think the issue of using reference especially for unique (fictional) designs is the real key point to focus on at least for me.
