What does it really mean to be a "real" artist?
In this livestream, we're sitting down for an honest conversation about one of the art world's most misunderstood topics: the role of tools like photography, 3D, and reference in the creative process.
There's a common belief that true artists create purely from imagination — no references, no aids, no shortcuts. But is that really true? And is that even the goal?
@LightingMentor will be talking about why drawing from observation and imagination is a powerful skill, AND why tools like photography exist for good reason! Whether you're a beginner feeling judged for using references or a seasoned artist curious about expanding your toolkit, come join the conversation.
