Okay, I'd like to make a shout out to a pretty nifty 3-d program that's absolutely free. It's great for using as reference for humans. Can pose them anyway you like. Go to this link to check it all out. [link]

Also, I'm not sure how to pose this as a question, but when you're drawing horses, how do you do it? You sketch it out and then like put it up to the reference picture and see how far you're off? Or do you sketch it out the best you can and not compare? I hope this question makes sense.

Thanks guys!
