Re: Future World

artists use references constantly. we are not born knowing what everything looks like. if you study dozens and dozens of photos, even taking your own, you will begin to amass a sort of mental "morgue" file, and from that you can begin to create things out of your head.

but even then, references for research and inspiration are lifeblood to the artist. having a library of books and magazines and clippings is essential.
