(I've lost respect for artists who did this too, in particular if they went out of their way to claim the art as completely theirs and denied that it was tracing, or tried to make up reasons for why it was okay and the original artists shouldn't complain about their stolen art. Oh, bonus negative points if they sold the traced art.)

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 12:19 am (UTC)(link)And re: the selling traced art, people do it all the time. If you make it enough of your own drawing, there's not much people can do about it. There are actually a lot of comic artists who trace regularly.
It's a shakey line, I prefer not to trace myself but I don't know if I can completely dismiss people that do.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-08 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)Of course it looks good and better in an instant but it's not original and trutful to being an artist. And with that push the other artists that work their butts off from the start out of the spotlight.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-08 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)I think the you should never ever trace/reference mentally and everything needs to be from your mind I sometimes see in art communities hold back a lot of artists.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-08 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)I've been accused of tracing myself when I was about 8 years old, although the person who accused me was an idiot. It was physically impossible, given the different sizes of the original and my work.
But I also didn't see why it would have been such a crime, as long as you then go on to make it your own. Yet the person acted like I was cheating or something and they were triumphant to have found me out.
I think tracing is one of those "crimes" that it's mostly non-artists that get upset about. Andy Warhol traced. So did many classic artists.
The literal meaning of "cartoon" means to trace the art through a pricked paper onto the canvas or wall.
Big deal.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 12:11 am (UTC)(link)When I was first starting, I would re-draw fan art that other artists did. It was an amazing learning tool, but even as a newbie, I knew that I could never post it. Cheaters gonna cheat!

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 12:10 am (UTC)(link)This is why I personally draw very stylized though. People who draw realistically often do end up tracing or doing matte paintings because it can be difficult to get beautiful realism done in a quick manner (and the art industry is all about quick.) I prefer using my imagination a bit more then that so I stay away from Matte Painting for the most part.
For the record you still need skills to trace and/or do a matte painting effectively. People who don't know the rules of painting and illustration typically come up with horrible traces.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 04:42 am (UTC)(link)Text: Now that I’ve discovered you trace your porny fan art, I’ve lost respect for you.
I also hate that other artists get less attention than you.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)Usually the end result is barely recognizable from the original art because it actually takes some minimal drawing skill to adapt the initial character figure to that of the character you're aiming for, and draw the right face.
The only thing I care about is that it looks as good as possible in the end so I have more pretty fan-art of my fave characters to look at.
Sharing it with other fans who would enjoy it too is a bonus.
And I don't intend to become a professional or make money out of it.
I do get the hatred if the artist claims loud and clear that it's entirely their work and they're omg so talented. But on the other hand I won't say too loud how the works was done precisely because tracing seems to be the worst sin for some.
