Luna the Great of all the Russias

Wait a sec...using references is BAD??!! Oh CRAP!!! O_O

I've been recently using references in my request shops because a friend said it helped with proportions...I didn't know they were frowned upon! I'm going to stop using them now and going back to the old shapes and memory deal -_-

No no no. Using references is fine (in fact I would expect most artist to use them). What's frowned upon is tracing and claiming that it's your own original work (and trying to sell it).

Oh thank goodness -_-

*sighs*

In truth I never ever want to go back to the bad times of guess work and drawing from memory O_O *shivers*
