Thank you so much, Allan, for your answer; I have to admit that, since my figure instructor keeps a pile of fashion magazines for us, to search for reference photos to work from, I have a "special eye" to choose the worst quality ones, the more retouched and unreal..

By the way, from next year I'll be allowed to draw and paint from life, and I'm really looking forward to it; for now, I'll try to follow your advice and choose to work from photos taken in natural daylight or at least showing more natural skintones...

Thank you again
Alessandra
