Is it illegal to draw something based off a picture (like a picture from Wikipedia) and post it on social media?

For example, if I decide to go on google and use a certain picture as a reference, do I need to ask permission from the photographer in order to post my drawing of it on social media?

I’m aware that beginning artists use reference photos for their drawings and post them on social media all the time, but is it technically illegal?
