Drawing kind of artists: have you ever done tracing before? If so, have you ever actually openly admitted the deed and publicize the traced work along with the original artist's name in the description? - Or you know, something like that.

Just wanting to know, cause I'm not exactly afraid of showing traced works; I'm just afraid of people thinking I should have shown something I drew by myself. :?

When you really like someone else's style and you start imagining things in their style...

Wow, I'm answering this a week late. Silly me. :blush:

No, I don't trace. I don't have a problem with people who do trace, if it's credited and used for casual purposes. If one does trace, I expect them to mention it while displaying the artwork or at least openly admit to it when asked.

That being said, I'm not going to deny that I have directly copied artwork just for the experience/practice. I learned my art skills mostly from repetition and practice and still feel a lot more comfortable drawing with a model (preferably a picture or something). I got a lot better at painting, sketching, and drawing digitally by finding original works of art trying to replicate them exactly - and obviously crediting them when done.

I also found out - again - that I'm not exactly comfortable tracing/copying other people's art style. :p

This is the phase where I temporarily stop drawing to focus on writing the scripts of my future projects. It'll be a bit until I can continue on the drawings I'm working on. :p

I'm working on some digital art. Because I'm broke and too lazy to go through the downloading process, I'm using awful applications, but I'm somewhat satisfied with the process. Mostly working humans/facial features before I expand. I'll post soon.

Finally, after months of putting my hands on hiatus, I'm drawing again instead of writing.

Oh, I thought it may have been gravedigging since it had been a while...
Well, here's the stuff I know I'm allowed to post publicly. Of course I like my drawings I did that were modeled after a nude woman, but for the sake of PG13 and all that, I've chatted with some mods and they say if you want to see it you can TG me, but even though it's not terribly detailed (it's not meant to be) it's probably best to keep it out of view of the young'uns who might not see the artistic value and just go "ooh boobies!"
So yes, the less potentially smutty collection.
