Reference example 1

I figured I might provide a bit of a sample about what you can do with my photos. And other peoples photos too! Be creative, don't be a slave to your reference. And no, using reference IS NOT CHEATING! But I would advice against using grids or tracing. Look and study the drawing and free-hand it. Also, if you start taking these photos yourself, you'll be amazed at how strongly you connect with the photo and the moment you took it.

Also, please remember: Always credit the artist whose photos your are using. It's just common courtesy.
