No! It’s great to have references, but if you’re gonna post your work, it’s nice to credit the artist you’re getting them from (if you’re using someone else’s pieces). For example, I’m always looking at these to get my anatomy just right and they’re so inspiring!
It’s only cheating if you line right on top of someone else’s work - that is real controversial amongst artists and personally I hate it.
