So, I'm working on a new portrait, yes, its Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock! <3

Most of the refs I use for portraits, I usually end up playing around with the colors to make it easier for me to paint with. In most cases, I can stick with the colors as is, but in this case, the pose and scene of my ref was perfect, but the colors aren't. So, I wanted to lighten them up. I can't be the only one looking for a good ref and this problem comes up, so I thought I'd share my "not-so-secret" secret to fixing up images to reference from!

Hope this is useful for anyone else out there. And hopefully I succeed in making a nice painting/portrait of him when I'm done! Will update later when its finished!
