Hey y'all,

just a quick question regarding the use of reference in lesson 3:

Are we supposed to draw the leafes and branches exercises from reference? I'm not sure whether the draw from reference-part only applies to the plant drawings and don't want to accidentally cheat.

Thanks for helping me out(:

You should use reference when adding edge detail/texture, though you are not required to use it for the first two steps where we establish the initial basic structure of the given leaf. That said, you can also choose to use reference for this as well.
