Oppinion Time by Charlomilk
Explination: I see many users here who post drawings with the description "not traced" and look nearly identicle to works other people have drawn on other websites. By doing this you're doing the same thing as tracers: stealing. That's not cool guys, and don't tell me "some people can't make their own works!" I belive that anyone can get good at art with a little thing called practice, people don't get good without actual effort. (sorry for all this, I don't usually like text things like this)

i feel like posting text in an art gallery is worse than tracing or copying

i mean, at least draw something. maybe a toon speaking your text or something.

eh I feel like this gets it across better: and at least i'm not stealing any ones art? I personally don't like posts like this either but there isn't any journal feature.

also: it's not like this is a portfolio website, or even a good website to show ones ability to draw since it's on a tiny little screen

@animal girl can you rephrase that? I don't understand what you're saying, sorry!
@MidoriMint Well these famous artists didn't claim this art as their own or never evolve in their art work. By posting up traces of peoples art you be doing harm to the artist and taking away publicity or appreciation they could have gotten. Also there have been instances of artists completely giving up drawing because people steal their art often enough, can you please be considerate to the artists who've put tons of effort into their art? (Also you know what's a better form of practice than tracing? Life drawing. I would suggest it to anyone trying to get better because it teaches you so much more than just tracing or copying)

Totally and etterly agreed, Since I come from Roblox, You can get well hated or even banned for copying a game! Copying is WORSE then traceing since you don't even put any time in it!

Okay, everyone. SHUT UP! Please.. It's this person's opinion! Tracing is good for an artist when they're younger than 8, but not 8 and up. Also, it's NOT good if you claim it as your own/don't give credit. And you shouldn't post traced pics here, keep them to yourself! Unless it's like scenery, a picture of a person, or a picture that YOU drew. Seriously now. Children are immature, and we can't stop them from doing what they do. Everyone leave this person alone. Just let kids trace and go to deviant art or something...
