It's 2024 can we please stop saying it's normal to trace or copying an entire drawing and pretending it's 100% your work? Just bc you changed the character or added clothes on a base you found on pinterest it doesn't mean you created original art

Edit: literally posted this and 5 minutes after it got deleted randomly then reappeared without doing anything WHAT THE HECK

#wren text tag #tw: vent #like tracing and copying are morally grey. If you want to trace to learn stuff or practice or study it's ok ig #maybe don't post it online or if you have to... don't trace from picture/other people artworks/bases you found online w/o giving credits #unless it's a base an artist made specifically for tracing purposes #I think this depends on where you draw the line bc I'm much more strict abt copying/tracing from art rather than photographs 🤔#at least with photos you have to do some mental exercise for your mucle memory + simplification studies #personally I don't like tracing bc it feels lazy like are you a copyprinter 😐🤨#this vent needs some lore otherwise this looks so fucking umpromted it's almost confusing 🙄🙄🙄#kinda found out sb who was copying or tracing both from fucking pose references from Pinterest and other people artworks 😅#like poses ref ig they are ok but you should check the Terms of Condition of the original artist first. For the artworks plagiarized. DUDE #surprised no one has found out yet but if I see another copied drawing my netiquette is leaving my body and I'm turning into a HATER #or another comment like “omg your poses looks so dynamic”. I'm flying #btw I blocked them so my dash is free. Sadly we are also in the same disc server so I'm kinda cooked #thinking of leaving it so I don't have to start drama and discussions. I'm not a fan of call-out and stuff and if I can avoid it I will #btw I say copied/traced bc some are traced over while others are hopefully just eyeballed. What bothers me is the amount of plagiarized art #like almost half of those fanarts are copied poses. The other half are character standing on a white bg. I hope those aren't copied as well #it's already bad... but if only was just for the bases. That one traced artwork can almost be damaging to the fanbase reputation 🤦‍♀️ smh #there are only a few artist in that part of the fandom I don't need an art thief drama. I guess I will shut up and look away 😑#anyway that's the lore which didn't help with my Art Block. Actually it made worse. That's why it took me so long to be back lol 🤣😂😭#pov: you log on tumblr 🥰 and you have an art crisis 😍#Are u telling me I could have done that? Copying and tracing and taking all the credits instead of wasting time learning anatomy?! 🤯#Ok the last tag was sarcastic but wouldn't be funny. Loved vagueposting tho 💖🥰#And now that this post is published I can finally rest. I had this thing in drafts since September #To whom is asking about who this person is. I won't tell. I just want to forget what I saw. Ty and bye 💖✨️
