GUIDELINES
Light
Capture a new photo or choose an existing one. The photo needs to be clear and taken in good light, preferably outdoors under bright sunlight. Indoor lighting can create shadows on the face, which may degrade the quality of the portrait.
Quality
Most people use phone cameras, which are acceptable as long as the photographs are high-quality, clear, and high-resolution. A smartphone with advanced photo capabilities can be a better option for a portrait that truly captures every detail. This ensures optimal clarity and results you'll adore.
Position
To make the portrait more detailed, it is advisable to use a shoulder-length photo, unless you plan to have a full-length portrait drawn. I recommend avoiding filters for portraits, as some filters can alter your face, making it look different from your real-life appearance.
