i know right? i try my best and i only get one silver star and a few 1 likers. if im lucky, ill get two and im awesome @ art. its not fair for origional artists....... that tracers get more.

i know! it happens all the time to me too D:

Don't give up! Just keep drawing what you love and eventually people will notice you.

I feel you! I have never disliked tracers, because they don't put their heart into their art. Sure, it takes time and effort (a LOT of time), but it isn't their own art

I also dislike it when someone is credited for something they traced, when the pic is not originally theirs.

I, too, used to trace others art sometimes but only for practise and I never uploaded the things I traced on the internet.
What I feel is worst about this actually - they dont ask the original artist for premission to use/trace their art! How would you feel if someone got all the likes and attention for something they traced from you?

people just are not as creative anymore.. great work btw

That's the biggest problem with this site. I don't give likes to anything traced. I hope others will do the same.

I don't just agree with the tracing bit(I've never really seen any popular artwork that's been traced anyway, but who would like it anyways, you know when it's been traced cause it looks like cr*p), but just underappriciated art in general. I HATE it when I see a person's artwork and I see that it took them maybe 4 hours and they only get a few likes. I understand because I have that happen all the time with me. So I empathize with those who have the same problem. :)

I ABSOLutely agree with you. I never trace, and I only get a few likes, but I know this is my own art and I WILL get noticed one day! But those who trace or copy another persons work shouldn't be credited for it. (You have amazing art by the way!)
