you don't necessarily need to follow all of these things but in general: lighting, pose, and perspective. frankly, youre just picking hot chicks. that doesn't matter. you don't want to use a picture taken from a weird angle when you're just learning. and especially bad lighting.

the point of the lightining is so you can do a value study. if you had to recreate the picture using only 5 shades of gray. so you want it clear, one light source. so that you can learn how shapes reflect light and create shadows. washed out or shadowey selfies are no good. also, i see way too often where people use pictures of these girls with no feet or hands, or the phone covering their face. pick a nice post so you can understand what their body is doing, so it has a nice flow, and so you can see all of it. and also, a lot of these selfies are sort of looking up at or down at the girls. that perspective is complicated and its just going to take away from the appeal of the drawings, as well as make it harder for you to learn proportion . you're gonna be confused why her legs are so short and end up drawing a dwarf and wonder why she doesn't look hot.
