I'm not sure I completely understand the question, but I can assure you that lots of art in the world directly follows a reference picture. That's how most of the art was done in history as well. Before photography existed, often the point was to capture something in real life, be it a person or a landscape. Even when creating concept art where lots of things are designed from imagination, details are often based on real things and references are used at least indirectly.

Refusing to use references for fear of being mocked (or thought of as less of an artist) is counter-productive and doesn't align with the reality of how most art is done. Unfortunately, it's a common belief and needs to be dismantled. There are no rules on how art is to be done and just because something makes things easier, it doesn't mean it's cheating and shouldn't be used. As with anything else, it has its advantages and disadvantages which I'm happy te explore if you're interested.

That said, drawing from imagination (instead of from observation) is a wonderful skill and the game will eventually teach that approach as well.

If I didn't understand your message correctly, feel free to rephrase (and you can use your native language to make things easier).
