The faces of complete strangers.

Hey.

Why is it so difficult to find portraits as references?

Grrr.

I've been trying to look for photos.

Good ones.

Suitable ones.

And by that I mean,

The lighting must be good.

The shadow must be there but cannot be overwhelming.

It has to be sharp and clear.

The eyes must be clear.

The face structure must be seen.

The face cannot be flat.

And lastly,

The face must look good.

Sigh.

Here's a few that I got.

This is pretty okay.

Lighting and the shadows are good.

But it's too wrinkley and that won't be good.

And it's too small.

This one would have been good too.

Face and everything.

But,

The shadows aren't as prominent as it should be.

It has to show in order for the face structure to show up as well.

This one I really really like.

Face and shadows are good.

But the hand is making me wonder.

And it's not clear.

It's all pixel'ish.

Hmm.

I need to find good portraits for figures studies.

8 of them!

o.o

And why can't I google for images?

When I press the button to view,

It says either it cannot find the server or that I'm not connected to the internet.

-.-

I understand if it's 1 or 2 photos.

But every single one that I click on?

Jinx much?

Till then.
