Traditional Art 1 Gaara Pic, 2 Light X L Pics, and 1 Yaoi Chain Pic (:

okay, just for the record, i did COPY these
however, i did not TRACE

some ppl have been mistaking me for traceing, thinking the word COPY means trace (silly billy's on myspace x3)

oh well

CNC <3





EDIT:

AHAHA I tricked Azure Flame into seeing this :'D

 

Still I say, Copying isn't art, hun. We've already seen the exact same drawing. Unless it's from the original artist, we don't care.
It's just as bad as tracing.

 

The first one, i think, isn't so bad for being copied. I used a sketching tool. The other three, idk why i didn't, i just used a regular pencil.

The last three, however, are drawings, for my friends XD -yaoi lovers-

so i was thinking of how to draw L X Light for my friend Brandy, because she loves them and we're having a meeting today. I lost a Fan Fic i did of them and went for a drawing instead :/

<3

 

Nice job Cupcake! ^^ I like the pics. No problems I can see from here.

 

ahaaha - yaoi, huh? I think I like you Cupcake

¦^D

Anyway...yeah, so basically the only person I'd really listen to is this (see quote) chump. What s/he says is the geniune, absolute truth:

Personally it kinda annoys me when peolpe spout the usual nonsense of how copying automatically equates tracing/art theft. Either these peolpe have never picked a pencil or they like to roll in the ridiculous artheft!bandwagon where apparently, it's absolutely ok to not know what art theft is and pissantly wank over absolutely nothing anyway.

I won't even get started on people who summon a shitstorm over a simple graphic icon which uses fanart. W.T.F

Anyway. Really, absolutely don't mind what anyone says in regards to tracing. I encourage you to keep copying, but with that said it's not really necessary to post all your copies. Contrary to what other people seem to make as if, copying is actually good for your observational skills, like that member mentioned, and it's also a fun way to practice your hand at drawing in general. I also *highly* recommend you draw from real life more rather than from already stylized, 2D images; already images on paper sort of nulls the idea of being able to conceive/understand an actual 3D object from scratch. I hope that made sense ahaha

Here's a nice detailed copypasta which could be of use:

more & sauce

Anyway, there is my two cents. Happy drawing!

 

Agreed with noctits87345, just not that I love the yaoi part... >>

Anywho, there's nothing wrong with using somebody else's art as your guideline. Heck, I do it all the time when I draw KH-Manga characters.

With more practice, you're going to be a lovely artist. Keep up the good work! :D
