Is Rotoscoping animation cheating?

It's hard for me to come up with animation poses and finding the right photos for reference take a while. Does using Rotoscoping techniques count as cheating? Also, what if the build of the character I want to animate isn't like my build, how can I reference with different bodies? It would seem weird to go up to a friend and be like "hey can you do this move?"
