I think you summed up my thoughts perfectly.

I still have to half-trace images and reference stock to fix my problems with anatomy, but I still think that what I do is art, because I turn it into something of my own, and it still took time, effort, and skill to create. Yes, I give the credit where credit is due. But that's really the only difference. If she had referenced a life model, it would have been no big deal.

And besides, drawing without a reference is very difficult. Anatomy is the hardest thing to draw, especially fine details like the angles of a face or the shapes of the fingers and feet.
