AUTOGRAPHS

I paint sports figures. Use online photos sometimes. How does copyright work even if the paintings differs?

I want to know how sports photo copyright works and if I can sell
paintings that I make using photos from online. So for example, I
painted Babe Ruth using a photo I found because I don’t have
any pictures of him. The painting resembles him but is in color
would I still need permission from the photographer?

You are fine, those pictures are old and part of the public domain if you ask me.

Also if you don’t try mass producing anything it can still qualify as “Fan Art” which is totally fine.
