If you get caught, it’s theft

>>3853834
Referencing means no one gave a shit and it's only theft when you become successful.

>>3853834

If people can recognize the reference in your art without you telling them you are doing it wrong

Can't you just search up a pic of a Japanese girl then draw your image with an animu face? Lots of people do that.

Theft:
>Not paying for reference image, unless public domain and/or money not demanded
>Tracing other art and claiming it your own
Referencing:
>Using something as a supplementary to drawing better
Dubious:
>Tracing an image and presenting as your own

>did you put little effort and skill into changing your ref?
>then its theft
>did you put a lot of effort and skill into changing your ref?
>then its ref

Triple digit iq

If it's a straight up 1:1 copy that you just drew on top of the original then it's theft
If you made any significant changes then it's referenced. If someone says you're wrong tell them they're retarded and say art has a history of being derivative
