New Pin-up finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used some direct figure reference for this one which is something I don’t usually do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted one more new pin-up for the upcoming anthology and was drawing a blank for ideas or inspiration. I went to twitter and scrolled the Fantasy Art Pose reference feed and found a few poses I liked and incorporated two into a scene. The seated figure I drew from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel a little weird about using photo reference this blatantly. It wouldn’t be hard to find the source photos if you went looking for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the handful of instances I’ve used direct reference in a published piece, I’ve either shot it myself, or transformed it dramatically from the source. I feel no guilt about grabbing a photo of a gun or guitar or car and dropping it into a page for a quick trace-off, but usually I’m looking at photos of environments, props, or people to figure out “how they work and look” and not copying them directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had originally sketched out a background behind the figures, column with drapery etc., but decided to leave it here as this took a ridiculously long time as it is and don’t want to add another days work to something I feel vaguely like it’s plagiarism!
It was still a fun experiment in inking, lighting, shading and modelling with brush line work, more so than I usually do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d be curious to hear how other artists use reference if the reference is what sparked the composition in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n
