Artist's Comments

If I had a nickel for every time I heard one of these excuses...

I would be rich enough to buy deviantART and hire new admins. =P

Please read the companion article.

yeah, no excuse will change it. Tracing is evil.

And annoying when it's done badly...

I couldn't agree more, tracing artwork is pretty lame anyway. Anybody using Tineye could find them out easy.

FAQ #352: deviantART changed it's layout and features and now it sucks, what should I do?

Haha, yeah. It's sad when a traced work is so similar to the original that TinEye matches it :lmao:

Which reminds me, I should link to TinEye somewhere in the club. Thanks. :D

And oh man, I've heard these excuses before. ALL OF THEM.

Shoes and shirt required. Pants are optional.

What has anyone ever learned from tracing? Using a picture as reference and attempting to mimic the style/features is how you learn. Even better if you attempt to mix different features from many references to make something new.

But tracing? That's a good way to learn how to trace.

Caffeine, a few days without any sleep, maybe some hard liquor. It's once I start wildly chain-smoking that I know I've hit that 'sweet spot'.

:nod: Wisdom!

The only value I can see in tracing is line control. So when you trace your own pictures, to ink them, you don't mess it all up. :lol: But that doesn't need to be posted on deviantART in the "fan art" section, now does it...

Yep. =P I've seen 'em all a million times. I've seen people make these excuses to defend tracers, I've seen tracers use them, etc. etc.... it's so annoying...
