Thanks everyone who helped with the theft post. One of my best friends pointed it out and I am thankful. Always let an artist know when you see this sort of thing. Tracing and recolouring aren't flattery.

You can trace to learn on your own time but please do not post the works... Especially not as your own design or under the word 'inspiration'. Tracing isn't inspiration. It is tracing and once posted as 'yours' it is theft.

For those who are learning! Search art pose references in Google images. Then tick the tab for Usage Rights and tick Creative Commons licenses. These are excellent for learning and building off from.

Artists make these for these purposes. It is to help build up our community, keep the creative juices flowing and to keep budding artists from going toward theft. Not everything has CC. If it is unmarked, ask the original artist for permission. That simple.

And for the end of this thread. Credit credit CREDIT! "Credit to the artist" isn't credit. It's so easy to back search an image to its source. Please do so and if you can't find the source--don't post. Courtesy goes a long way and costs nothing.go create!
