Hello there!! I'm fairly new to deviantart and hope to be inspired and inspire!^__^

For the longest time I've been colouring with wood pencils and recently discovered the mighty awesomeness that is Adobe Photoshop aswell as water colour pencils.

Some of the pieces that I've submitted are a little faded or may seem rough because I didn't have a scanner at the time and therefore had to rely on my camera to upload them from my sketchbook.

I don't think of myself as a professional at all (I've never even taken classes of any kind apart from art class in school) I draw because it's an outlet for me, a way of expression. IT HELPS KEEP ME SANE *TWITCH*lol

<3 Thanks for all the views, nice and encouraging comments aswell as helpfull crit!! They're really appreciated<3

Hey do you have something against tracing, recoloring and pose stealing? If so let me point out why I like em.

1. Tracing is a really fun style of art. It let's you improve on your art and the artwork you tracing. I did a really good trace/copy myself of a cute little fox. Check my favs and artwork.

2. Recoloring is also a fun style of art. As long as the recoloring is good, it's a very good style of art.

3. pose stealing is perfectly fine. Because there's a lot of poses out there and it's hard to make up new ones. So it's much easier to just use a popular pose. As long as you're not claiming the pose, it's perfectly fine. Like the hands behind the back while standing is a common pose, heck I use the pose a lot in real life! So pose stealing isn't really stealing.

So yes I support all three of those. So please tell me why they would be bad? I don't want to fight, but I would like a reasonable argument.

pose stealing isn't pose stealing unless you stealing the character and copying the pose and claiming both as an original piece of artwork.

tracing is in no way shape or form educational, it is a crutch! Reproducing a piece someone else did is far more educational because you then practice perception, muscle placement etc. with your own drawing skills and not someone else's that you're drawing over. Again, it is theft if you claim that the copied piece is your own or do not mention the source where it was taken.

Recoloring is fine as long as you have the original artists' permission.

In the end, it all boils down to having the original artist's permission, otherwise it is theft.

That's what a lot of others say too. That it all comes down to asking and permission.
