Many aspiring artists believe that they have to draw everything from memory, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Even the masters like da Vinci and Michelangelo used models for their drawing studies. Why should digital artists be any different? Images are great reference material, but it’s best to take multiple photos of a real-life 3D object, so you can examine it at different angles.
In the video below, artist and animator, Evan Burse shows how he uses his Hulk statue as reference to create an action pose when drawing on his Wacom Cintiq Pro 24. The large screen on the Cintiq 24 allows Evan to have his reference photos handy, while still providing plenty of drawing room for his sketch.
