Photos are a
great way of capturing ideas and setting up good compositions
before you start to create a drawing or painting. Your camera or
smart phone can be your sketchbook. Keep one with you and take
shots whenever you see something that inspires you. Your
reference photo doesn't have to be perfect. If the subject is
interesting, you can easily edit it with Photoshop or any of
dozens of online editing services. You can adjust the skew or
angle of the shot, crop it, add vibrancy and contrast, change
the background and such. Or, just do your editing with your
pencil or brush while you work on the finished piece.
I'm collecting tutorials from talented artists and photographers that are helping me learn how to take good reference photos and how to use them in my dabblings. You're very welcome to use them too.
On the same list, you'll also find sources of free reference photos from all around the Internet. They are great for inspiration and ideas. If you'd like, you can also use any of them as references for your own art and craft projects.
