Chris P Thats really true XD
I think both methods work fine if you pay attention to what you're doing, painting from life is always gonna be better but it's not always an available or fast enough option and in the case of movie stills alot of them like perhaps Alien for example would have hard lighting to reproduce in life without alot of work.
As long as you pay attention to your ref and if you're applying what you learn from it, then I think it's fine personally, just make sure to go life drawing if you get the chance.
