I told the commissioner right away that I used a reference and linked them to the photograph- just in case. I would never want to keep any of my customers in the dark.
I've always used stock images and figure drawing sites for pose ideas and to study anatomy, but when I heard that some commission artists stay away from referencing like I did, it baffled me.
When I do upload the commission I plan on crediting, as that's the right thing to do. I always leave credit where it's due.
I wouldn't know what to do if a commissioner had an issue with me referencing, either- ESPECIALLY since I need more practice with complicated poses. I would also probably refund. It sounds like if a commissioner had an issue with that, then they're a little more work than it's worth.
