But referencing real life images IS what pros do in fact.

Learn a part at time.

and... Since our works are anthro, ignore the animal head an replace it with a human one, that will make easier measure proportions.

Es que me gustaria dibujar sin necesidad de prender la PC para buscar referencias, osea, nada mas lapiz y papel. No logro quemarme en la cabeza lo aprendido con imagenes.

Jeez, I feel the same exact way. I'm pretty sure everyone does, or has. It's no big deal. Just keep working, and you'll get better, regardless.

Yeah, I know that even art college students are used to referencing. What I want to do, as replied above in spanish, is to be able to draw without the need to turn on my PC to search for references. I mean, just pencil & paper, but I can't seem to burn my findings into my brain.

Oh, yeah. I gotcha.

It matters me in my case because I don't want to commit, for example, the mistake of giving the character a very short inseam or (like this, on the left) or very long hands. I get over it for a while and let it as it is, but then it starts to irk me.

(that ref shall be updated in the future to reflect her wide hips)

Legs seem to short, and we need to note how long her arms would look when stretched down. A bit like a monkey.

As for a reference, we might talk about a trade later at the end of the year.
