Choosing A Good Reference Photo

The better quality your image, the more detail can be included in your portrait. When choosing the perfect photo of your beloved pet there are a few things to consider:

​

• Image Resolution - Has your picture been taken on a low resolution camera? Is the image blurry when zoomed in?

• Lighting - Is the entire subject visible and in good light? Are there too many shadows?

• True eye colour - Does the photo reflect the true eye colour of your pet? Can you see the detail of the eyes?

• Visible Fur - Are you able to see the direction of the fur, or is the image too blurry?

• Character - Does the photo capture their true character? 

• Distance from the camera - Is the subject too close or far away from the camera?
