I can see that now that you mention it. I think that it's really good that you use refs- a lot of people just wing it and the art suffers for it. Further, I don't think anyone outgrows the point where refs are useful, a lot of high end professionals use references because they are incredibly useful. I'm sure once you draw her enough, you'll get the feel for her design and won't need to rely on them as much

I hope I can soon draw her/and other creatures without needing a ref <3
Can't wait to see more art of her and from you too! I've always adored your style.
