nice sketchbook man ! when painting from photo, you shouldn't try to find the exact same values or colors, but exagerate them a bit, because most of the time, the photo is either warm or cool, either overexposed or underexposed, even if there are a bit of improvment, but copying the values and colors won't help, but understand your subject, and try to come up with a solution that would make it real !
