@Arwym - Yeah, I understand how you feel. You can still get good life reference from a good anatomy book or simply by flipping through a fashion magazine. Even when drawing from imagination, you're still basing it on reality so it's very beneficial to study what things look like in real life.
@Emi - Don't worry, I will get all my assignments done. Sometimes I have to sacrifice sleep but it all gets done in the end. =D
