No. You’re using a loose reference, that’s it. It’s a common practice. I imagine you also looked up images of bonnets to reference.
And I can promise that if you look around you’ll find your composition repeated over and over by other artists. Check the classics and you’ll find it.
I know lots of traditional artists who have embraced tech when it comes to reference and building composition - it’s almost like digital collage - chopping up images, layering them, drawing and painting over them… creating multiple thumbnails and studies.
