Nice pen drawing. What photo did you used as a reference source for the lady with the particular type of braids?

Thanks for sharing. Take care.

Thank you.
Just a normal portrait photography I got from https://www.pinterest.com/#search. They've got some amazing photos that you can use as reference to practice your work.

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it.

My understanding of Pinterst is that images on its site are not copyright free. Are the images you use for reference in your drawings stock photos owned by Pinterest and expressly stated that they are free to use? Or, as you say, randomly chosen from individuals who own the images as their property and have pinned them to the site?

If the former, you must state that the images are being used as references and include sourcing links in your posts;

and,

If the latter, besides sourcing, permission from those individual owners must be obtained to use their images for commercial purposes.

Each image at Pinterest includes a use case if you care to find out how it can be utilized outside of Pinterest.
