[blizzardz]

the realization that a character ref doesn't have to be an entire turnaround sheet with all info ever might just save some of you

#to any other artist with OCs. i'm telling you. #sometimes the expectation full fledged reference sheets..... brings you down #this whole time i'm dreading like UGH I GOTTA MAKE REF SHEETS FOR ALL MY GUYS EEWWWWWW #but as soon as i started using basic flat color fullbodies as refs i was freed #actually i LOVE drawing fullbody images of my characters just Standing there #i mean obvs if you have some shit going on like an actual animation/comic or whatever you might actually need those turnarounds #but if youre just chillin. if youre just a casual Blorbo Enjoyer. i'm BEGGING you. #esp if you know you'll remember smaller details. like STOP worrying about getting EVERYTHING onto a big canvas with a colored background lo #like make a big colored turnaround and infodump if you want. but im pleading with all of you to make it easier on yourselves LMAAOOO
