I just started working with PainterX and I had some questions. When ever I try to draw starting with a blank page, it always looks really bad and I end up starting a new document withing ten minutes. The only way I can get something going, is by getting some reference images and using a certain cloner brush and brushing different pictures into one by using the clone brush. Then I go and apply weird effects to these images and give them my style. Now my question is, I am trying to get stuff for my portfolio, I'll be graduating in like a year and want to get started on portfolio early. Now to my question, should I feel bad posting stuff like that? Since i am taking stuff from different pictures? Please help me on this, i just feel bad for some odd reason lol

P.S. I am not a traditional artist by any means, more digital...

Thanks in advance for the help!
