You can see another instance of CLIP Studio’s 3D models in use in the final panel. I don’t use them as often as I used to, but they still come in handy for certain tricky poses or angles, or for situations in which I totally forget to get a photo reference for the pose or angle in question.

If you ever get tired of hearing artists talk about the importance of using references when drawing, too bad, you’re about to hear it again: use references!! Not only did I use the 3D model to help me get the angle right for Kraal sleeping on the couch, I used one for Ine sweeping the floor, Chris carrying the bag of garbage, and I even used a photo of a crouching panther to get the pose right of Dil wiping underneath the table. Without photo references, my poses look less dynamic and less realistic. They don’t have to be perfect, but just about any reference will be better than no reference at all.
