Rules vs Creativity


Like most things, it is helpful to know the "rules" before breaking them creatively.  It's good to know perspective.  It's good to know anatomy and then when you break the rules or change muscles or tones, it is done with the knowledge of how it should look and how things work.  I think anatomy helps creation of new or mythological creatures.  If you know where and how the muscles look on humans or Earth animals, it is easier to create a believable ogre or troll.  So no, I don't think drawing representational figures interferes with the creative process.  Rather it strengthens it.
