Drawing of Pat at work: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~jeffreylewis/Media/patsart.jpg

Typically sketch at location and then do ink rendering at studio. I doubt that Frank Patterson did much work using photo reference, but it's only a guess.

He lived in the countryside and getting film processed would be problematic unless he did his own darkroom work. Still just a guess...
