Reference Photo Help

The best reference photos include the following:

  • Natural light by a window or cloudy day. Try to avoid very harsh sunlight on the subject so it doesn’t blast out their true colors.

  • High definition clarity or no further than 4 feet away from the subject.

  • Showcasing subjects special qualities (example: underbite, floppy ear, markings, etc.)

  • Downloaded and saved (Please avoid sending screenshots).

  • Scan physical photo if possible instead of taking a photo with your phone of the physical photo.

  • Full body photos only please.

  • Great reference photo examples below!
