Choosing a Photo Reference

If you’re using a photograph as a reference while you draw, it’s usually best to have several different photographs from varying angles and with different light sources to choose from. Not only does this give you a wider selection of poses and lighting options, it also allows you to combine different elements from each photograph. For example, if you are satisfied with the lighting in one photograph but you’re drawn to the facial expression in another, you can combine the best parts from each for your portrait.
