Reference Pics by Pixelated Eevee

Haven't you ever seen a really good Drawing/Pic on Colors! but, then you find out that the artist actually used a Reference image and you thought to yourself "this guy traced this pic... :/ "?

For those who dont know, a reference image is then it's when someone uses a pic for their drawing/pic so they can trace it or some other reason. Which shows laziness.

Not all pics using a Reference image are bad ya know?

Not all references mean tracing. I didn't even know you COULD trace on this....
:/
References usually are looking at a pic and copying it slightly. Tracing is overlaying and drawing line for line.

I've seen traced pics here too, that's art theft. I use no referances.

not all referenced pics are traced... some use a top screen ref, which is okay.

What?! Refs arn't bad!!! People use refs to make pictures, get angles/colours/textures right. I hate how people think if it's reffred, it's bad. It's only called stealing if someones traced from another without permission. Geeze!
