Hi there, Liron here! In today's vid I'll show you how I crop my reference photos & make them GREAT for painting.
This is an important skill I recommend you develop. Looking back, a lot of my "failed" paintings were based on less than ideal reference photos, that ultimately were a big contributing factor to the failure.
This is both due to the practicality of composition and shapes, but also the fact that you can get much more inspired when the photo is cropped correctly.
I hope you enjoy this one! π
