PexelsReference Photo by Murat Estibir
I used this Murat Estibir reference because the lighting and shapes are clear, which makes the value structure easier to paint. A strong reference like this helps me focus on layering and edges instead of guessing. If you’re practicing portraits, starting with a good photo is half the battle.
