I've been listening to the illustrator/painter-centric podcast "Drawn Today" and one of the topics in the episode I just listened to was the use of references. It was an interesting discussion, and something I hadn't really given a lot of thought to. Beyond drawing from life in my sketchbook or painting portraits, I don't know that I've really looked to references for stuff like, say, the robots and spaceships I doodle (at least, not consciously; I've got tons of toys and models around me all the time that certainly inform a lot of what I draw, but I think I absorb that osmotically more than anything else). Something else to add to my list of things to work on.
