Too much good stuff. 
Thanks seth1. Love your stuff. How do you get smooth lines like that?
Maybe just try to capture the proportions a little more accurately.
Done without reference ...

Wow, this thread is on fire!
Great stuff
Rassel: Good update. Thanks for the solid advice on the previous page, I will try to use less ref, but sometimes you need it to improve.
The middle one in your last update is my fav.
Great painting by the way, hope it get's into Expose.
Seth1: Keep it up, try to follow the direction of the surface with your shading.
GodOfWar: Yeah!
IdrawGirls: The more girls, the better 
Xia: Yeah, always like your delicate way of drawing the female form.
Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, I can't use my scanner and my digital camera has a lot of distortion.

I drew lots of figures and faces that are way to bad to be posted here.
Does anybody have any tips about how to get better at drawing without reference?
Everybody here is so annoyingly good at it.
For some reason I don't know how to build a library and how to draw from it.
Something from reference:

: )
lots of sketches posted in the SP-thread.. i dont mind it at all.. its the "cool place to be" ; ) ..and i noticed that this thread actually is named the _daily_ drawing routine...never thought about it before.. thats a huge commitment.. "will you marry me!?"... maybe would get in more peeps if we changed it to something more casual... how about "stfu and draw"? awell aint that big of a deal iguess..
IDG: good question, i would recommend training your visual memory... sounds fancy eeh? ;P ..nah but if i would put that question into perspective and answer it out from my own experiences i would say u really dont need using photoreferences at all.. i think im okay recreating life out of memory and i dont use refs (yet).. ive simply trained up my visual memory pretty good without even realising it by just looking, wondering.. and then drawing what i've seen...(excuse the me-me-me) it helps of course having a feeling for perspective and proprtions etc to begin with.. but watch, study and draw... be bold when u draw.. understand what ure drawing... this will probably set of a chain reaction if u think its funny and ull draw and remember all sorts of stuff... i cant however say that u should stop using photorefs entirely and only go from visual memory from here on, we're all different..
what works for one guy might not work for another guy.. depending on the persons age, situation, training plan etc... the downfall with using photorefs is that the user probably feels forced to reach a certain result to match the market (most of which is on refs already) and produce a better final image than skill is capable of.. this is cool and all.. im not bashing refusers.. ull probably see me there in the future aswell.. im already messing with overlay-layers when painting etc.. but the most important thing is that its pretty unessesary starting with photorefs that early in your training.. sure it helps your work look good but that is the least thing u want things to do when ure in training.. when u do shit bad u progress =)... this is probably one of the reasons why artists starting out young turn out pretty good.. they dont know the shorcuts and they simply dont care if their stuff looks like "shit"... its not supposed to look good right?... young dumb and all.. the kids that learn the shortcuts too early usually end up having a hard time later on... there is however a nice amount of sjuneers here that are bold enough to skip the shortcuts.. and if we give em time enough they'll blow our minds eventually..
Final tip then would be.. more brain on the visual memory... find things that interest u and just go at it... something simple as a cowboy for example can teach u everything about anatomy, proportions, colors, perspective.. and so on.. the secret is wanting to know more of the subject.. are u for ex. able to rotate something ure drawing in front of u in 180 degrees in your head and draw that?.. cowboys taught me anatomy and cars taught me perspective.
haha.. stfu and draw already! -___-

GodofWar: You can draw without ref very good, good job on the cloth-wrinkles.
Rassel: Always inspiring. I agree about the thread title. Stuff and draw sounds fine to me Wouldn't mind some color use either but maybe other people think different about this and want to keep it strictly drawing only.
Nyqvist: Thanks man, best compliment anyone can give. Checked out your website, looks very good. Hope you join us soon!
IdrawGirls: I have the same problem, I guess to keep drawing is the best way.
Look back on some drawings now and then, (not too often ), look for bad points and study ref for those problemareas.
Odds: Good job on the hands.

RasselTassel, yes that was the plan with the Daily drawing Routine and it was named that because I when I made that first thread wanted a committment from everyone to participate on a daily basis, no one joined though and I decided to leave the thread. Too bad it didn't work cause I tried with posting every day back then but as all previous threads I was the only one committed and it cannot work that way.
ok nonsense rambling from me.
keep up the good work Rassel.

buzzz3d: "Didn't even know it was possible to draw in Word.
Word will now do (for 'free') close to what illustrator/micrografx
designer/coreldraw would do years ago...though still helps to know what
you're doing, which is not the case below ("bezier" points - been seen
here already):
"Like your continous lines."
have only tried that a couple times (see "guts"), the ones above are
with a mouse = extra wild...this one is after a mag ad (on paper)...
re your latest, what can I say?

| Sorry about the posting screwup, folks; the post [mine] above belongs on the previous page, where I noticed it had been replaced (because of a glitch or something) by a string of code; in sorting that, the original post 'jumped' to this page - dunno how, but there it is. |

Max, hearing that from you really makes me glad cause I know you put a lot of weight into composition thinking aswell. That one above was a work-sample for a school application and I have no idea what they will think but I know I like experimenting. I am still trying to understand the rendering part with pencil which is the most difficult I believe cause it doesn't have to be perfect to make a good drawing, oh well I need more experimenting.
thanks again Max I really appreciate it and keep up the good work u too, me really likes that latest speedy from you in the speedy.
ok keep up guys, this one's for you Max.
