Its not art theift! She/he used a REFERENCE she/he DID NOT copy it-like trace it and that stuff-Its not wrong.

No, she free-hand copied, meaning her drawing looks exactly like the referance, even though she didn't actually trace it. It's still a form of art theft ;3

Well, guys, if it was a free-use stock photo then by all means she's allowed to do anything with it. If it's not then it's art theft.

Please remember to credit the author before you post next time.

Honestly, that picture is everywhere, and I couldn't find the owner. There isn't any watermark, no signature, or anything that I could use to find him/her, so all I can do is say that the reference isn't mine

[PieRSquare]

Just to set the record straight, the reference pic IS NOT MINE. I just wanted to use it for practice. I couldn't find the owner of the picture, and if I could, I would have credited him/her.

Any kind of reference without crediting the original author is art theft on this site, whether or not you believe so. Maybe you should read the rules...
