Think about these when looking for portrait references: ✔ Clear shadows: these will help you understand the form better. ✔ Good value range: If your reference is missing contrast (short value range) and you don't know anatomy by heart you'll have a harder time identifying the different planes of the face. ✔ High-quality image: If you zoom in to inspect the facial features, but you only see pixels, your reference isn't good enough. 📷 Where to find free high-quality references: - unsplash.com - p
