Hey um...I saw this picture was done by this artist on Instagram...and I can't help but wonder if this was stolen from you by that person? Or if they completely exactly replicated it. I'm a little confused and I thought I would let you know!

I like how you recorded half of your screen again to hide how the reference is moving like a mirror on the other side so you can double check that everything is in place. It's called tracing, btw.
In case that people don't know it. Using his mirror method you can place a pixel (line, brush stroke, etc) exactly on the same spot that any of the the pixels from the reference. That's why the drawing canvas and the reference MUST have the same dimensions. You also need to enable the option in Photoshop to move/zoom them like a mirror. Also is important that the reference and drawing windows have the same size in Photoshop to get perfect precision.
The accuracy of this method is 100% every single time and it's not different from any other tracing methods. Just as example, if you insert a random red pixel in a 400000x400000 px reference image, I'm able to insert one (freehand) on the same spot on my blank canvas without fail a single time by using this tracing mirror setup. If that's not accuracy, what is it?
Of course, due you are tracing you have to be careful or people will notice it so you have to add some mistake on purposes or modify the reference a bit by using the Liquify Tool before start so the end result is not an exact copy.
A lot of other good artists studied the same reference in the past. It's very easy to compare the difference between an artist with a skilled/accurate eye and an artist tracing. I don't mind if you want to trace (art has not rules) however you should be clear about it from the beginning instead of try to hide it.

He uses references. Is it hard to understand? Guweiz uses pose references too, but never credit the photographer. And he has video tutorials where he shows everything from beginning to the end. He has only one canvas open and he likes to work with one layer. The size of photoshop depends on his PC or tablet. So please, think before you say something.
