Do you often use references when you're figuring out how that hand goes where instead of putting them behind the characters back?

Do you sometimes get frustrated when you cant draw the position you had in you're head?

What has refrences done to youre artwork, has it helped you improve?


From my own personal experience, i can't function without a reference, my brain goes dead. I have my own style when it comes to hair and face but when it comes to body movement and positions, thats alll posermaniacs, i literally can't get the fluent shape i want without a guide.
