Am I Allowed to Use a Different Reference for This Exercise? Or is it not allowed and will absolutely not pass, even if it is properly sculpted?
For the sake of keeping a standardized exercise it needs to be the reference provided. If we don't stick to the standard then it becomes an ambiguous, overly subjecting thing...anarchy really. It becomes anarchy! 😅
You don't have to do the exercise if you don't want. You're welcome to apply these skills to your own reference of choice and post it to the gallery!
