There's a myth that says that true artists don’t use reference, that they are just born gifted, and their inspiration just comes out of thin air. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Great artists expose themselves to as wide a variety of work as they can, regardless of whether or not they see an immediate practical use for it. In this episode of Animated Discussions, Animation Resources Programming Director Davey Jarrell interviews Board Member Taber Dunipace and President Stephen Worth on how to use reference for both practical purposes and for feeding your creative spirit.
