Hmmm I am emailing my art teacher about it! I’ve been known to be neurotic, too… So I don’t know if it’s just ME freaking myself out!

I have a question for any lurkers (and there are quite a few of you):
How many of you have used reference pictures that you did not photograph by yourself? This includes pictures you find on online portfolios, obscure artists from obscure countries, magazine clippings, ads, etc.
