I Have a Question
17 years ago
With the Information I can access, I can Run things 900 to 1200 times better than any human.
Ok, so here's my predicament. I want to get better at drawing, and art in general. I'm willing to admit I'm not the best on the block. However, I had a couple of ideas in mind, including posing for camera shots that I would later use as references for anatomy and such. That one isn't my concern. What I'm concerned about is that another idea I had was to look at other artists works and draw them by looking at them, kind of like looking at a model or still life and drawing it. I would in no way claim the art, or even post it, but I feel it might help me play around with styles, take what I want from various places and leave what I don't like behind.
So my question is this... am I in the wrong for wanting to do this? Would this be considered unethical or would it be a serious way to help improve my skills?

I do give credit to her for giving me the art style I've eventually adopted into something more distinct and my own, but you should look at other artists too. :3
you can use others art for ideas on how to get a pose right or how the fur my lay or whatever. by looking at other's art and using it to help you, you can eventually develop your own style
so i wish you luck with all of that and encourage you to try anything to get yourself up and drawing
However, while you work at it, create your own style.
As for poses, I'm about to buy a pose reference book. I've missed too much of my figure drawing class for it to be too much of a help at this point, so I'll have to take it again.
