time without having to switch our view constantly. It also gives us
more views of the model to help with accuracy and proportion.

in our background image for reference. Today we are going to use a
simple, rough drawing of mine that has a front and side view.
Anytime you are working from references (which should be almost
always!) try to get as many angles as possible. This is
particularly important when we work from photo references. Here is
