Draw your Character

[Oniguro]

But let me just say that I've never traced anything.

Just wanted to share what I found since I also don't like art theft.
I don't mind people using other people's art as reference to learn "how professionals do it" but I don't like people saying "I don't trace" when it really looks like they did.

Had you said, "Okay, I traced these to improve my drawings, and here are some I did which sadly aren't as good yet..." I wouldn't have mind then but you said that...

I don't think anyone cares if you trace. Lots of people trace. The problem is making money off of it.

Also that yea, I didn't expect people would respond to it before I could post though.
