Referencing vs Copying

Please read and participate if you so choose.  

[Laila Izuka]

I read the first page (and skimmed through the rest of the thread really). I'll admit that I do copy, more than I should. But I'm hoping that someone will teach me how to draw poses on my own. I've never been able to understand how poses are done, using the correct anatomy.

I can sketch out a few things without any references or copying, but the pictures aren't that good then. I still have a lot to learn. But I'm hoping that I'll get out of the habit of using bases from deviantart to draw. And actually become a better artist.
