finally at the arms!!!! Here are my assingments.
Yes it was hard for me, I think every artist struggles with that. What helped me was having 2 sketchbooks, one for dirty and bad drawings where I don't care if it turns out good or bad. and the other for more finished drawings (not perfect). I think something that can help you is to use a pen, so you can't erase and slowly stop having that perfectionist urge. Be messy! (I will give you some images of my sketchbooks). These episodes of the Draftmen podcast helped me a lot (check the last link first if you want):

And answering your last question, you will never stop using references even if you draw from your imagination. One of the best comic artists in the world, Alex Ross, uses photographic references (Ask Alex Ross: Why Use Photo References? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0InB6axv024, How Alex Ross Creates Models for his Photorealistic Style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBxPsVUge9s&t=158s,) So don't think that the day will come when you don't have to use references, nobody has a photographic memory. Now, if you want to stop relying on reference alone, that comes with a lot of practice and observation. References will help you expand your visual library, and the Drawing Basics will help you put your ideas on paper.
By the way, it's not bad to copy, if you copy the right things. It is good to copy aspects and qualities of your favorite artists, that will help you improve your art.

MADE SOME FAN ART5mo
It's been a long time since I felt happy with my drawings. But I think these are very good. They are based on the Mario movie.

This one kicked my ass, had a lot of difficulty choosing shapes, especially for the lynx
9mo
Good job, just try to do think in more simple shapes like a cube or a cylinder. It dosent have to match the silhouette 100%, just have good gesture and perspective.

the studies are both about the ABS and the Obliques, so I'll post it on both

Nice drawings, good to see you do practice the gesture first. Just two things:
Try doing more cleaner drawings. Your drawings are a bit scratchy.
Also try spliting lite and shadow a bit more clearly.
I would suggest you copy more of stans drawings.
Your going on the right path.
Good luck

first, the tarzan preparing the spear is really cool. The anatomy is well desinged, and it has good story teling.
Second, i can relate to your problem. I feel i confident i can draw the image in my head, but as im finishing it im startig to dislike the final product. What has helped me wth that is to have images of some of my favourite artist (Alex Ross, Frank Frazetta, Criss Samie etc.) as inspration. Sometimes it helps with composition, lighting, anatomy, color etc.
hope my comment helps you. you have helped me relly well before, so thank you for that.
btw. sorry for my bad writing, im still learning my english.
