What is Tracing?

•°•╚✿════๏⊙๏════✿╝•°•

A traced art piece is a replica of a drawing made by 'tracing'. When a person traces, they copy the drawing. Tracing is not referencing, because when you reference a photo, you are not creating an exact copy of it.

Other Types of Art Theft

•°•╚✿════๏⊙๏════✿╝•°•

Face claims - face claims are when a member makes a wiki about their new oc, but instead of drawing the oc/oc's reference, they use a picture found on the internet.

Recolours - Recolours happen when a member takes an image off the internet and recolours it.

Is Tracing a Good Thing?

•°•╚✿════๏⊙๏════✿╝•°•

Tracing can help an artist improve in their art style, BUT it is incredibly disrespectful to post a traced piece. You CAN trace pictures, but you CANNOT post them online. That would count as art theft, while not posting it, would be fine.

The CATR

•°•╚✿════๏⊙๏════✿╝•°•

The Crediting Artists Team Remake (CATR) is a team of who filter through the newest feed, looking for uncredited artwork, spam, and/or off topic posts. If a member gives you a warning, heed it, and do not harass the member. More information on the CATR can be found in the [Guidelines].

yuck tracing

Also, say I were to invert the colors of one of my own OC's, would that be making a new character if i also give them a different personality?

Great PSA, btw

The only thing that I would say is acceptable to trace is bases, because they are made to be traced, people make based for other people to trace
