[NOOB!]

on her left leg, i know shes got a strap at her knee there but i don't like how her clothing folds in and come outs,looks like she just has bone there.

Also here waist area looks flat,as in the belt doesn't seem to wrap around her.

apart from that i like,robber,your too young to be drooling:p

Looks like you swiped a J. Scott Campbell sketch and traced it (?!)

My best advice is that tracing over someone else's drawing will teach you absolutely nothing, and while you may feel like you drew the most amazing picture you've ever done, the basics will be off,.. ie. balance, rhythm etc.

Better advice: Take a big fat SHARPIE MARKER and just copy the POSES from other artists. AFter you get basic proportions down, you can switch to pencil, copy trhe pose, CLOSE THE BOOK YOU"RE COPYING, and then draw your on picture over the pose you just copied.

I'm not trying to be mean here, just help out :)
I see this a lot with high school students and even early college kids.

Can you back that up?

Can you back that up?
I agree. A pretty bold statement unless you know for sure.

Guys, I'm not trying to attack anyone here, so please don't let it turn to that, I just happened to recognize an image I had seen before, and as I mentioned, I see this in a lot of my students. It's not a horrible thing (unless you honestly think no one will call you on it), if you genuinely learn from aping another artist, but I think our friend missed the structure of the original artist's rendering.

(I just tried attaching the original pic, I hope it worked, if not, it's from J. Scott Campbell's 'Danger Girl SKetchbook')

No problem I was just asking for a picture.

Why is everyone copying these days?:mad:

Jahnocli, explain.:Blahblahb

Hey, like I said originally, this was just something I was asked to do...

No credit?

Hi all,

I knew sooner or later alot of the young artist here would be found to trace some of there art. I'll be the first to admitt when I was younger I traced other artist work and then felt satisfied that what I had done was good and showed it off as what I had done. Just to get that lil high that we artist live for. It's called recognition with a splash of vanity thrown in.
There is nothing wrong with using other artist poses. I'm licensed to draw Power Rangers and a few other cartoon characters. But I sell my work to the people that own those rights and make good money at it. People that are close to me and my art know that, ya I drew it but no it's not mine but I still get the Claim (in my lil world) hahaha silly world.
So everyone should not fret so much about tracing a pic or copying a pose from other artist we admire. But to publish a copyed piece and claim it is your own is a no no. That could lead to a law suit. So I suggest that when ever we post a pic that we copied we post the original and give the owner thier due and show what we had done. That way there is no confusion.

There is no shame in being a copy artist....but there is great reward in being Original.

(some day there will be someone out there that will admire you enough to trace your work)

Cart:D

[sigh] You know what? You've pushed the pearl-handled revolver over the table top, and I'll do the decent thing...

All you need to do is give credit to the original artist, is all. Geesh.

BTW, Very nicely put Cart. I remember when I use to trace dinosaurs and tell mummy "Look what I did". Heh. Kid days, how innocent they were.:cool:
