I hear these a lot in my Livestreams, and I am just going to post them here so you feel silly and never say it again...

"I can draw without an under drawing! I don't need one!"

"I can draw this thing I've never drawn before without a reference!"

"Using a reference is cheating"

"Perspective is too hard, I don't need to use it"

"I don't like drawing ___ because I'm not good at it"

"I will never be able to draw as well as ____"

All of these are things that I have heard newish artists say, even older artists.
But...
"Using a reference is cheating" (If you draw ontop of it) (or create lineart of it)
I agree with this when a new artist does that, monetises their work and then passes it off as a original.
