Art of the Month Discussion

[OhReary]

Copying from a reference is alright.
Saying it's your original work isn't.

[~ You Know Who ~]

well most of my drawings are fully based on my imagination^^

thats why i mentioned..."except from the paintings..'

[Nocturne]

@BOLD

Actually many people draw original things. Saying no one can draw things other than copy drawings is extremely wrong.
Or at least thats what I got from the bolded part in your post...

i didn say that...i said that a person always start by looking at some drawing...i didn say imaginative drawings are not good...are you kidding me?/...lara...she's one of them...and her drawings were immense...

look that guy is just attacking someone for no reason...and i happen to offend it...thats all...copy or not copy doesnt matter...matters is that its originally made from you and thats whats hyuz's done...he copied some work and has submitted it in the contest...i dont see a big deal with it.
but that guy just you know...he's degrading him...i dunno i should nt write more its not even worth my time...

you seem like a nice person...you must ;ve understood what i meant...

and to think that GUY is a GIRL!!...OMG never knew girls were this rude...

Guys.. what the hell...

Since when is this thread a flaming one?
Have you ever heard about manners? Use them, it won't kill you.
Seriously, you have something to say about someone's artwork (keyword: "artwork". If you have something against the artist, face him in private, if you can that is), say it nicely, suggest ideas or ask, if you're not sure about what you're saying.

About the reproducing art subject, I started that way too and I'm sometimes still doing it and, it's just as Nocturne said, you always learn something new when drawing, even if you're reproducing. You get used to basic shapes, positions, shades. Trying to copy other people's drawings helps you notice tricks of theirs and then use them in your own way. I recently began to work on original characters and poses and it's much easier having all the tricks up my sleeve that I got after drawing for many years with references. And even when working on originals, I'm still googling some details or ask a friend to pose for me for 2 minutes so I could see how some lines or shades go.
Besides, as you can see in hyuzhiha's drawings and hellobaby's drawings that he inspired from, they are different. Every artist has or does something different, adding a bit of themselves to their drawings, even if it's not an original. Also, +respect for him for being able to reproduce something that difficult.

Bottom line, you, who started all this, should try to see the both sides of a subject before you go insulting or say nothing if you don't have all the info. It's not difficult to have a polite discussion. Try it out for a change (this is for everyone who ever started any annoying and insulting topic).

Side note: ew... wall text.

I see those comments. Just ignore him

Meh actually I don't really appreaciate hellobaby's drawing skill. But I admire her for spending time on doing small details :D.

Since this forums there are boys much more than girls so I think you should draw a shounen one or ecchi or moe style lol :D

Just an advice that you should change a few details and add materials (like using different colors) from the original drawing to make it different and lively. Or unless in some cases, you'll get troubles. Really, just restrict from tracing entire details as much as possible
