Description Oh gods, I really hope this isn't terrible quality because I saved it as a JPEG.

By the by, it's FREAKING HUGE. 8'D So those with slow internets, bewaaaare~

Anyway, traced bases has been a hot topic for a while, so I thought, "Well... why not teach people to reference without tracing?" And this tutorial was born. I really, really hope that it helps at least one person. It would make my day. <3

If this did help you, and you made something, please show me!! <3

Very nice tutorial I must say It's refreshing to see that someone is just using a pic for reference rather than for just tracing

Super awesome <3 Using the image to get a skeleton is so much better than using the entire image <3 Especially since most people wouldn't have gone through the trouble of adding her elbow or the top of her head D;
