I cut the image out and use that for my sculpt template by holding it in back of the sculpt. Makes for a durable reference point and can actually be held against the sculpt repeatedly as needed and/or measured. It has worked quite well for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839837143712428519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-18630745304751025812013-09-26T16:39:11.860-04:002013-09-26T16:39:11.860-04:00Your timing is perfect, James!

I am working on works of art in water color, ink, and digital using photos from public domain as a reference. In the case of digital, using the photo as the starting point. If they are in the public domain from an expired copy write, such as a 1920's published photo, is there any permissions required to use them in this regard?<br />SoarsLikeAnEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187655088876834150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-16287446088486949672013-09-26T13:08:08.825-04:002013-09-26T13:08:08.825-04:00Great tips James.
