• Answer:

  Are you asking how you draw well without reference? Because if so, I'm afraid that comes with hard work and practice. There are some exercises you can use to help you. - Draw something with reference. Don't get too fussy with the details, just do a quick sketch (allow yourself 30 seconds to 5 minutes to draw it, I know that doesn't seem like long, but it won't work if you take 30 minutes). Now hide the reference, and redraw it. Don't cheat! By doing this, you're actively using your imagination and the memory of your muscle movements should still be fresh in your mind. If you do this even one or two times, you'll find that later, you can draw it pretty accurately without having the reference near you at all (well, more accurately than if you hadn't drawn it at all before haha). - Look at a picture for 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on your patience. Look carefully at each line, even trace the picture with your finger or pencil but DON'T draw it. Then hide the reference and try to copy it. With this, you're using just your memory and imagination. Again, don't cheat! - When you're drawing things, try to come up with patterns to follow. For example, if you're drawing a human figure, instead of drawing the figure perfectly in one go, try to draw the figure if they were made up of basic shapes; a circle for the head, a square for the body, and so on. Then from there, refine the figure: make the circle more skull-shaped, make the square more curvy. And then finish it off. You might even want to trace the picture but instead of drawing the actual lines, try to draw shapes that correspond to the shapes of the reference. This is so that later, when you're trying to understand how this figure works in different ways, and the different shapes it makes when under different strains. Good luck :]
