Copyright Basics For Artists | Art Advice

Hi guys and welcome to another art advice video!
I've heard a lot of people struggle with copyright (and a lot of misconceptions) so I thought I'd make a video sharing what I know about copyright.

COPYRIGHT FREE PHOTO REFERENCE WEBSITES:
www.pixabay.com/
www.pexels.com
www.unsplash.com/
www.pmp-art.com/
www.wildlifereferencephotos.com
+ facebook groups, deviantart accounts that share stock photos and many more.
You can also use the advanced tools on google search in order to filter by creative commons licence.

I'm not affiliated with any of these websites and there are no doubt more out there. Make sure to check the creative commons licencing before using a photo. It's also a good idea to reverse image search an image to make sure that it hasn't been stolen and uploaded with a CC0 licence.

Just a disclaimer! I'm not a copyright lawyer, nor do I pretend to be- so if you're unsure about anything check to see if you can find your own local laws on the matter. I always recommend erring on the side of caution :)
