Hey Beardox!

I've got multiple messages from ppl, that says you've ripped my art and called it your own and gifted it for others.

Just wanted to remind you that most people are NOT ok with this, and can put a serious shitstorm over it. Personally I don't care that much. It'd be nice if you mentioned me tho.

Take care

I don't take credit for them. But I should probably get better at giving the original creators creds ^^ I just don't think about it x3

I'm still learning to draw faces better and I like your style so that's why I trace yours

I knew something was fishy...

I draw almost everything by myself, I only need to trainat drawing canines. That's why I traced my friends artwork.

I never claimed that it was originally made by me, neither did I give him credit, wich I am NOT afraid of, I just forgot to do it.

Protip: Do not post traced work or use it for things people pay for/request. Doing so puts your name on it, whether you claim it or not. Likewise, doing so only teaches you how one artist does things. Referencing art and copying what you see is healthier for artistic progression instead. While tracing will help you understand certain anatomical features, it will not further an individual style; referencing helps you do both simultaneously. Following a dotted line is easy for anyone, but practicing with your own vision is what is important.

In this case, the artist doesn't have an issue, so you lucked out there. Just don't get in the habit of tracing things and showcasing them, it's just bad news most times.

Thank you for the tips! I have started to draw a lot by free hand now!

I will not forget to give original creators credits etc in the future, and I am sorry if anyone would feel offended or anything.

We all make mistakes, and I've learned from the one I made!
