02. GATHER REFERENCE PHOTOS

these images don't need to be perfect but they should have three key features to provide a good reference:

Clarity

good light, clear image. this will help me recreate all the details of their features.

A Natural Pose

a pose where the subject looks 'like them.' the portrait can only be as good as the references!

Highlight the Face

the money-maker. their face will be the heart of the portrait so find an image that shows it off!

while all these images are cute, here are a few examples of what won't work for reference photos:

Poor Lighting

features indiscernable in dark lighting.

Unnatural Pose

goofy poses create awkward drawings.

Face Unclear

the face - especially the eyes - need to be clearer.
