I’ve started doing art again after… some years. And 4 some reason I can’t draw anything without references!!! I hate that I go to Pinterest every time just to draw! Does anyone else do this or am I just not creative and original?!?! HELP ME. :(

Not creative or just scared

To be honest, as long as you're not using AI to generate "art", I don't think anybody should give a shit whether you use references or not. Infact, the people freaking out over it would flip tf out if they ever saw that art schools literally encourage the use of references in works because whether they like it or not, it's beneficial to skill development.
Btw, random tip in case you need it: if you're having trouble finding good references for a piece you're working on, feel free to photoshop a bunch of separate images to get the reference you're looking for (Eg: cropping and merging photos together to your liking)
