Taking this here so we aren't flooding the page with our debate.

I didn't say you would get nothing out of bases, but it will cripple your growth in the long-term. Those are also fairly bad examples, since both still clearly use a base, and aren't your own art done free-handed. Please keep in mind I said that your ability to draw purely on your own will suffer greatly, not ability to use a base, since, while you may learn to draw cloths fairly well, you won't have a clue how to do anatomy on your own.

Again, there is nothing morally wrong with using bases, it's just not going to promote artistic growth. If you're fine with that, go right ahead and keep using them.
