Is it ok if I reference your art? I want to make a reference sheet for my character and you're so good at drawing my body type. I would NOT directly trace yours, but it might come out as the same pose as whatever I end up referencing. If that's not okay, I understand and it's completely fine! If it makes you uncomfortable, I will not use your art as a reference. (Sorry I'm bad at wording things)

sure! referencing poses or w/e is super okay with me ^^ also tbh, i don't mind if people trace* my art,

****AS LONG AS*****

they're not posting it, and especially not posting it claiming it's their own. anyone can *privately * use my work to learn shapes or lines or whatever else, tracing is a good tool to feel out the shapes in art.

👍

note: by tracing, i specifically mean breaking down the art to bare bones shapes. finding the circles and squares and bean shapes that compose the anatomy in a piece, NOT just tracing along the lines. direct tracing does not work as a tool, and is something i'm very not okay with happening to my work. ... annnd is something i very heavily encourage you to avoid for the sake of learning on your own.

#most of my poses are super generic imo so very especially okay if you mean standing facing the left with hand up lol.#there's way too much of a stigma against tracing in art communities when like. it's a REALLY good way to get a feel for anatomy and shapes #back in highschool/college i traced uh. luxebytes (yes i know the drama surrounding them forgive me i was in highschool)#coconutmilkyway creamsie okamiwolven n like. a whole lotta other artists i still admire today. not to mention i STILL trace poses in find o #pinterest and google and sometimes tumblr of human people just for practice #n for the record. before someone beats my door down with a bat:#AGAIN. i do NOT mean just tracing over the lines of someone's work. i get how tempting it sounds from a beginner standpoint to just have th #piece look like art style you like but. it's not only super uncool but won't help you learn.#them's my onions. obviously don't reference artists who specifcially ask not to be referenced #but #i dont mind with my art specifcally as long as youre doing it Morally Correct :]#last time i got asked if someone could reference my art they straight up recolored one of my ocs n posted it as their own but i'm assuming #you don't mean that lol <3 #ask #anon
