Guidelines for creating your own reference: 

• must be a photograph you take explicitly for this assignment, no old photos, photos from the web, or photos other people take (unless you want to do a self portrait and you just have someone snap a few photos of you to help you out, that would be ok)
• image must be figurative. Must include a human figure. A portrait would be ok, too. Must include a background or setting of some sort. 
• must include your reference image with your first in progress check. I want to see what you are working from. 
• Photo should have a lot of bold, bright color. Consider casting a colored light onto your model. Alternately, you could use digital editing to create a light effect on your image. If you have a photoshop subscription, you can download the adobe apps for your phone and you can add different color effects to your images easily using photoshop express. This is just one example. In the full value week we used light to show form, try to used colored light to create a mood or setting.
