Choosing the Right Reference Photo
A clear reference photograph helps ensure every subtle smile, gaze, and facial detail is faithfully captured in the charcoal drawing.
Good Reference Photos
- Clear facial details: Sharp focus where eyes, lashes, and mouth are clearly defined.
- Good lighting: Directional natural lighting with defined light and shadow contrast.
- Natural expression: Genuine smile or relaxed candid expression.
- Minimal obstruction: Face unobstructed by heavy shadows, hands, or large objects.
Photos to Avoid
- Very blurry photographs: Motion blur or out-of-focus camera shots.
- Extremely dark photos: Deep night shots with harsh digital camera grain.
- Low resolution: Tiny compressed screenshots where facial features are pixelated.
- Heavy beautification filters: Filters that artificially smooth or distort natural anatomy.
